Switching to broadcast program of your choice temporarily

Another convenient RDS service is called ???Enhanced Other Networks.???

This allows the receiver to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different station except in the following cases:

???When you are listening to non-RDS Networks???all AM (MW) stations, some FM stations and other sources.

???When the receiver is in standby mode or in TV Direct mode.

Before you start, remember...

???Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following:

TA NEWS INFO TA/NEWSTA/INFO

(None) TA/NEWS/INFO NEWS/INFO

TA: Traffic Announcement in your area.

NEWS: News.

INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the widest sense.

How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:

If the station currently tuned in starts broadcasting the program type you have selected

The receiver continues to receive the station, but the indicator of the received PTY code starts flashing.

???

When the program is over, the indicator of the received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the receiver remains in

Enhanced Other Networks standby mode.

If another FM station in the same Networks starts broadcasting the program type you have selected while you are listening to an FM station

The receiver automatically switches to the station. The indicator of the received PTY code starts flashing.

???

When the program is over, the receiver goes back to the station previously tuned in, but still remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode. The indicator of the received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit.

To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other Networks

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type (TA/ NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The receiver exits from Enhanced Other Networks standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.

When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent from an FM station

The receiver automatically tunes in the station except in the following cases:

???When you are listening to non-RDS Networks???all AM (MW) stations, some FM stations and other sources.

???When the receiver is in standby mode or TV Direct mode.

While receiving an emergency broadcast, ???Alarm !??? appears on the display.

The TEST signal is used for equipment test???whether it can receive the Alarm ! signal correctly

The TEST signal makes the receiver work in the same way as the Alarm ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the receiver automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.

While receiving the TEST signal, ???TEST??? appears on the display.

NOTES

???Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this receiver.

???Enhanced Other Networks does not function for some FM stations with RDS service.

???While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Networks function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same

Enhanced Other Networks data.

???While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other

Networks function, you can only use the TA/NEWS/INFO and

DISPLAY.

???The Enhanced Other Networks mode only works when receiving an

FM station with the Enhanced Other Networks code.

CAUTION:

If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the currently tuned station, press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to cancel the Enhanced Other

Networks function. If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is received finally, and the indication of the Enhanced Other

Networks data type flashing on the display disappears.

Reproducing theater ambience

In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sound, reaching you from all directions.

With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed.

Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the same surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theater.

Introducing the Surround/DSP modes

You can use the following Surround/DSP modes with this receiver.

???Surround modes

???Dolby Pro Logic II

???Dolby Digital

???DTS

???DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes

???DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

???All Channel Stereo

*Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. ???Dolby???, ???Pro Logic???, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

**???DTS??? and ???DTS Digital Surround??? are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

DTS**

DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding.

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.

Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a lower audio compression rate, which enables it to add breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

???To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)

??? DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.

The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists of direct sound and indirect sound???early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram below).

These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can create these important elements, and give you a real ???being there??? feeling.

Reflections from behind

Early reflections

Direct sounds

DAP modes can be used when the front and surround speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the center speaker connection: no sound comes out of the center speaker even if it is connected).

The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:

LIVE CLUB: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music club with a low ceiling.

DANCE CLUB: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking dance club.

HALL:Reproduces the spatial feeling of a hall for classical recitals.

PAVILION: Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition hall.

These DAP modes can be used to add acoustic surround effects while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analogue or

Linear PCM digital signal, and can give you a real ???being there??? feeling.

???When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

All Channel Stereo

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers.

All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the center speaker connection.

???If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of the front left and right signals are mixed and output through the center speaker.

All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analogue or Linear PCM digital signal.

???When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

NOTE

MPEG Multichannel signals cannot be reproduced.

About relations between speaker layout and Surround/DSP modes

Available Surround/DSP modes will vary depending on how many

speakers are used with this receiver.

Make sure that you have set the speakers information correctly (see pages 15 to 18).

Aspect ratio

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bitstream

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Chapter/title

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track for Video CD or Audio CD.

Component video

Video signals with three channels of separate information that makes up the picture. There are some types of component video, such as R/G/B and Y/CB(PB)/CR(PR).

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a two-channel stereo system.

Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel separation.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.

DTS

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems.

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

???baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

???progressive JPEG: used for the web

???lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

Linear PCM audio

PCM stands for ???pulse code modulation.??? Linear PCM is the usual method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.

MPEG

A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual infromation. ???MPEG??? standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts Group.

MPEG Multichannel

This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own home.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western Europe.

PBC

PBC stands for ???Playback control??? and is a method of controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the disc through menus.
