[] FEATURES
1. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder
Dolby Pro Logic [I is a new format for playing
mulfichannel audio signals that offers
_mprovements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic¸
It can be used to decode not only sources recorded
in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo sources
into five channels {front left/right, center and
surround left/right} In addition, vanous parameters
can be set according to the type of source and the
contents, so you can adiust the sound field with
greater precision¸
2. Dolby Digital decoder
Dolby Digital, a digital discrete system in which the
different channels are completely independent,
recreates "three-dimensional" sound fields (sounds
with a sense of distance, movement and position)
with no crosstalk between channels for greater
reality¸ In addition, the 5 channels (excluding the 01
channel for low frequency effects) have a playback
range extending to 20 kHz, the same as the range
of CDs, thus resulting in clearer, more richly
expressive sound¸
3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) decoder
DTS provides up to 51 channels of wide-range, high
fidelity surround sound, from sources such as laser
disc, DVD and specially-encoded music discs¸
10 cm or mo_e
reduced for several seconds after the power
operation switch is turned on or inpot function,
surround mode or any other set-up is changed
If the volume is turned up during this time, the output
will be very high after the muting circuit stops
functioning Always wait until the muting circuit turns
off before adjusting the volume
• Whenever the power operation switch is in the
JilL OFF or STANDBY state, the apparatus is still
connected on some AC line voltages.
Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave
home for, say, a vacation.
