Using the Surround Modes

This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 16 to 22) are applied automatically.

English

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

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

Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater???with only a limited number of the speakers.

Dolby Digital*1

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).

??? When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) encoding method records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and ???being-there??? feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which adds the third surround channels, called ???surround back.???

Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.

???You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back speakers.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert 2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrix- based conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and enables stereo surround sound.

???This receiver provides three types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes???Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE), Pro Logic II

Music (PLII MUSIC), and Pro Logic II Game (PLII GAME). When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the PRO LOGIC indicator lights up on the display.

PLII MOVIE: Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1- channel sounds.

PLII MUSIC: Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.

PLII GAME: Suitable for playing a video game. You can enjoy sounds with ???being-there??? feeling.

English

DTS*2

DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).

???When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround (DTS 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.

Another multi-channel digital encoding format introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).

It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression by adding the third surround channel???surround back channel.

DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods???DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch.

???You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back speakers.

DTS 96/24

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths provide extended dynamic range.

DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24 bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver ???better- than-CD sound quality??? into the home.

??? When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the indicator lights up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.

What is Linear PCM?

Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs and Video CDs.

DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.

???When Linear PCM signal is detected, the indicator lights up.

What is Dual Mono?

Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound) format used for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analog formats).

This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub- channel) to be recorded separately.

???When Dual Mono signal is detected, the indicator lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to

(see page 19).

When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.

???If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to ???NONE??? in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.

???If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to ???NONE??? in the speaker setting, JVC???s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.

3D Headphone Mode???3D H PHONE

If you activate Surround when the front speakers are deactivated, 3D Headphone Mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back. ???3D H PHONE??? appears on the display and the DSP and H.PHONE indicators also light up.

Activating the Surround Modes

Available Surround modes vary depending on the incoming signals.

Activating one of the Surround modes for a source automatically recalls the memorized settings and adjustments (see pages 16 to 22).

Auto Surround Function

This receiver has Auto Surround Function, which allows you to enjoy the Surround mode simply by selecting the source (with digital input selected for that source).

Auto Surround works...

???When multi-channel signal is detected, an appropriate Surround mode will be turned on.

???When Dolby Digital 2-channel with surround signals is detected, ???PLII MOVIE??? will be selected.

???When Dolby Digital 2-channel without surround signals or Linear PCM signal is detected, ???SURROUND OFF??? will be selected.

Note:

This function does not take effect in the following cases:

???While playing an analog source,

???While selecting any of DSP modes (see page 26), and

???While listening with the headphones??????HEADPHONE??? or ???3D H PHONE??? (see pages 11 and 24).

Using the DSP Modes

This unit activates a variety of DSP modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 16 to 22) are applied automatically.

Reproducing the Sound Field

The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. 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. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects.

DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real ???being there??? feeling.
