digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the audio compression ratio is
relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to
add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result,
DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid, and clear sound.
• When DTS signal comes in, the indicator lights up on
the display.

Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has a multi-channel playback format to
decode all 2 channel sources—stereo source and Dolby
Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channels.
Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II
makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble
and enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby
Pro Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables reproduction of spacious sound
from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal
colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music
mode:
Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for the
reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the
mark
DOLBY SURROUND
. You can enjoy a sound field very close to
the one created with discrete 5.1 channel sounds.
Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for the
reproduction of any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can
enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode. For this mode,
Panorama control can be selected, which gives “wraparound”
sound effect with side-wall image.
• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the PRO LOGIC II
indicator lights up on the display.
Dolby Digital*
Used to reproduce multi-channel sound tracks of the software
encoded with Dolby Digital (

).
• To use software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the
source component to the digital terminal on the rear of this
receiver. (See page 9.)

7 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 on the right).
These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic
surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic
sound field by adding these indirect 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 Gives the feeling of a live music club with a
low ceiling.
DANCE CLUB Gives a throbbing bass beat.
HALL Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert
hall.
PAVILION Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a
high ceiling.
These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround
effects while reproducing 2 channel stereo software—either
analog or digital except Dolby Digital and DTS Digital
Surround—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.

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 is emitted through the
center speaker.
All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel
stereo software, either analog or digital except Dolby Digital
and DTS.
