Input Setup

• THX Surround EX

“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a joint

development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of

Lucasfilm Ltd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded

with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to

reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the

mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back,

places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently

available front left, front center, front right, surround right,

surround left, and subwoofer channels.

This additional channel provides the opportunity for more

detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth,

spacious ambience, and sound localization than ever before.

When released to the home consumer market, movies that

were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX

technology, may have a note to that effect on the packaging. A

list of movies created using this technology can be found on

the Dolby web site at http://www.dolby.com <http://

www.dolby.com> .

Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX

Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode,

faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.

This product may also engage the “THX Surround EX” mode

during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby

Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case, the information

delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program

dependent and may or may not be very pleasing depending on

the particular soundtrack and the tastes of the individual

listener.

Listening Modes

Stereo

This mode has all input sounds output from the left and right front

speakers.

Direct

This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality

adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left

front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and

not output to the subwoofer.

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as

old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the

unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the

center-channel sound processed with the appropriate

reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the

atmosphere of a movie theater.

THX

This mode is for playing back sources using THX.

This mode will work well with 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and

DTS sources and Dolby encoded sources.

For excellent fidelity when playing back THX sounds, it is

recommended to use a THX-certified speaker system.

• THX Cinema

This is the conventional 5.1-channel THX format. This mode

should be used only when playing back sources that were

mixed for playback in large movie theater environments.

DTS

This mode is for playing back DTS sources.

• DOLBY DIGITAL Surround,

DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround

This 5.1-channel digital surround format enables you to

individually record and play five full-range (20Hz–20kHz)

channels (left and right front, center, two surround channels)

plus an LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect) for the low-

range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound that could be

heard in the theaters and concert halls.

Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

This mode is for listening to sources encoded in the Dolby

Digital format.

Dialog normalization (Dialog Norm)

Dialog normalization is a feature of Dolby Digital. With this

function, for example, if “Dialog Norm: +4” is displayed while

playing back a Dolby Digital source, it means that that source

material was recorded 4 decibels higher than normal. Thus, by

lowering the volume by 4 decibels, it can be played back at the

same standard level for other sources. However, since most

source materials have been recorded at the same standard

level, you will rarely need to adjust the volume.

Surround modes

With this mode, decoding is performed automatically to match the

input signal. This original mode adds no sound processing to the

input signal.

• Pro Logic/3 Stereo (Dolby Pro Logic/3 Stereo)

This mode is for playing back sources encoded using the

Dolby Surround format. Select this listening mode when you

play a VHS, VHS hi-fi, LD, or DVD video that has the

mark.

This surround format consists of four channels (left, right,

center, and monaural surround) and emphasizes the center

channel. Dolby Pro Logic is very effective for panning music,

conversation, and three-dimensional sound movement output

from the three front channels. It also simulates the atmosphere

and surround effects of the sound reflected from the side and

rear walls of the theater.

If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround

sound is divided and output from the front left and right

channels (3 stereo).
