16Before Operation - Sound Mode DescriptionsMini Glossary for Audio Stream & Surround mode(DTS)Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high qualitydigital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVDand compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS DigitalSurround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(whichmeans identical to the original masters) and results in excep-tional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. Theterm DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.(Dolby Digital)The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital pro-gram source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you canenjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, andimproved dynamic range. (Dolby Pro Logic)Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channelwhich carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the effectof being in a movie theater or live concert house-an effect withan intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PROLOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/rightmovement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixedposition in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynam-ic than before.(Dolby Pro Logic II)Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channelsfrom two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced,high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatialproperties of the original recording without adding any newsounds or tonal colorations.MOVIE mode:The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and allprograms encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhancedsoundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete5.1-channel sound.MUSIC mode:The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, andprovides a wide and deep sound space. The Music modeincludes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individuallistening tastes.MATRIX mode:The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that thedirectional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used toenhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The Matrixmode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuationsfrom poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbingsurround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate “cure” forpoor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio tomono.3D SURROUNDThis unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D SurroundSound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio play-back from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the fiveor more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channelaudio from a home theater. This feature works with DVD discsencoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.BYPASSSoftware with multichannel surround audio signals is playedaccording to the way it was recorded.

We callfiles that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.The DVD/VCR Receiver can not read an MP3 filethat has a file extension other than “.mp3”.About WMA (Window Media Audio) FilesAn WMA file is a Microsoft audio compressiontechnology.WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audiocompression of the MP3 format.MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player islimited as follows:1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz (MP3), 22.05 - 44.1kHz (WMA)2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps (MP3),32 - 128kbps (WMA)3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the softwarewhich cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example“Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playbackMP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in thefirst track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1sttrack, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wishto playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data inthe disc or use a new one.6. File names should be named using 8 letters or lessand must incorporate “.mp3” or “.wma” extension e.g. “********.MP3” or “********.WMA”.7. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than650.This DVD/VCR Receiver requires discs/recordings tomeet certain technical standards in order to achieveoptimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-matically set to these standards. There are many differ-ent types of recordable disc formats (including CD-Rcontaining MP3 or WMA files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatibleplayback.Customers should also note that permission isrequired in order to download MP3/WMA files andmusic from the Internet. Our company has no rightto grant such permission. Permission shouldalways be sought from the copyright owner.WMAMP3CDProgramCDSTER.
