• Page 44 - English - : ENGLISH Additional Information ENGLISH Additional Information 2 DTS Digital Surround Digital Theater Surround also called simply DTS is a multi channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems DTS offers the same 51 playback channels as Dolby Digital front left front right center surround left and surround right as well as the stereo 2channel mode The signals for the different channels are fully independent eliminating the risk of deterioration of sound quality due to interference between signals crosstalk etc DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby Digital 1234 kbps for CDs and LDs 1536 kbps for DVDs so it operates with a relatively low compression rate Because of this the amount of data is great and when DTS playback is used in movie theaters a separate CDROM synchronized with the film is played With LDs and DVDs there is of course no need for an extra disc the pictures and sound can be recorded simultaneously on the same disc so the discs can be handled in the same way as discs with other formats There are also music CDs recorded in DTS These CDs include 51channel surround signals compared to two channels on current CDs They do not include picture data but they offer surround playback on CD players that are equipped with digital outputs PCM type digital output required DTS surround track playback offers the same intricate grand sound as in a movie theater right in your own listening room 2 DTS compatible media and playback methods Symbols indicating DTS compatibility and The following are general examples Also refer to the players operating instructions 1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals Because of this the undecoded DTS signals are output as random hissing noise from the CD or LD players analog outputs If this noise is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume it may possibly cause damage to the speakers To avoid this be sure to switch the input mode to AUTO or DTS before playing CDs or LDs recorded in DTS Also never switch the input mode to ANALOG or PCM during playback The same holds true when playing CDs or LDs on a DVD player or LDDVD compatible player For DVDs the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this problem does not occur 2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of internal signal processing output level adjustment sampling frequency conversion etc In this case the DTSencoded signals may be processed erroneously in which case they cannot be decoded by the AVR1506 or may only produce noise Before playing DTS signals for the first time turn down the master volume to a low level start playing the DTS disc then check whether the DTS indicator on the AVR1506 page 25 lights before turning up the master volume 3 A DVD player with DTScompatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs A DTS Digital Output logo is featured on the front panel of compatible DVD players Recent DENON DVD player models feature DTScompatible digital output consult the players owners manual for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS encoded DVDs Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Dolby Pro Logic and the doubleD symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited Dolby Pro Logic II offers a wider band range 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater In addition the surround channels were monaural the surround left and right channels were the same with previous Dolby Pro Logic but with Dolby Pro Logic II they are played as stereo signals Various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents so it is possible to achieve optimum decoding page 43 e Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx furthers the matrix decoding technology of Dolby Pro Logic II to decode audio signals recorded on two channels into up to 71 playback channels including the surround back channel Dolby Pro Logic IIx also allows 51channel sources to be played in up to 71 channels The mode can be selected according to the source The Music mode is best suited for playing music the Cinema mode for playing movies and the Game mode for playing games The Game mode can only be used with 2channel audio sources Sources recorded in Dolby Surround These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals using Dolby Surround encoding technology Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs LDs and video cassette tapes as well as for stereo broadcast signals from FM radio TV satellite broadcasts and cable TV Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic II makes it possible to achieve multichannel surround playback The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment in which case they provide normal stereo sound There are two types of DVD Dolby surround recording signals q 2channel PCM stereo signals w 2channel Dolby Digital signals When either of these signals is input to the AVR1506 the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby Pro Logic II when the DOLBYDTS SURROUND mode is selected 2 Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the logo symbol shown below Dolby Surround logo symbol MANUFACTURED UNDER LICENSE FROM DIGITAL

• Page 45 - English - : ENGLISH Additional Information Additional Information ENGLISH When DTSES Discrete 61 or Matrix 61 encoded sources are decoded with a DTSES decoder the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum playing mode is selected However some Matrix 61 sources may be detected as having a 51channel format so the DTSES Matrix 61 mode must be set manually to play these sources For instructions on selecting the surround mode page 25 The DTSES decoder includes another function the DTS Neo6 surround mode for 61channel playback of digital PCM and analog signal sources 2 DTS Neo6 surround This mode applies conventional 2channel signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTSES Matrix 61 to achieve 61channel surround playback High precision input signal detection and matrix processing enable full band reproduction frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater for all 61 channels and separation between the different channels is improved to the same level as that of a digital discrete system DTS Neo6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source DTS Neo6 Cinema This mode is optimum for playing movies Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2channel sources as with 61channel sources This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well because the inphase component is assigned mainly to the center channel C and the reversed phase component to the surround SL SR and SB channels DTS Neo6 Music This mode is suited mainly for playing music Changes in the sound quality are reduced by decoding with emphasis on the front channel signals FL and FR and a natural sense of expansion is given to the sound field by the effect of the surround signals output from the center C and surround SL SR and SB channels 4 DTS 9624 The sampling frequency number of bits and number of channels used for recording of music etc in studios have been increasing in recent years and there are a growing number of high quality signal sources including 96 kHz24bit 51channel sources For example there are high picturesound quality DVD video sources with 96 kHz24bit stereo PCM audio tracks However because the data rate for these audio tracks is extremely high there are limits to recording them on two channels only and since the quality of the pictures must be restricted it is common to only include still pictures In addition 96 kHz24bit 51channel surround is possible with DVD audio sources but DVD audio players are required to play them with this high quality DTS 9624 is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc in order to deal with this situation Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies of 48 or 441 kHz so 20 kHz was about the maximum playback signal frequency With DTS 9624 the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 882 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz In addition DTS 9624 has a resolution of 24bits resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz24bit PCM As with conventional DTS Surround DTS 9624 is compatible with a maximum of 51 channels so sources recorded using DTS 9624 can be played in high sampling frequency multiple channel audio with such normal media as DVD videos and CDs Thus with DTS 9624 the same 96 kHz24bit multichannel surround sound as with DVDAudio can be achieved while viewing DVDVideo images on a conventional DVDVideo player 1 Furthermore with DTS 9624 compatible CDs 882 kHz24bit multichannel surround can be achieved using normal CDLD players 1 Even with the high quality multichannel signals the recording time is the same as with conventional DTS surround sources Whats more DTS 9624 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format so DTS 9624 signal sources can be played with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz or 441 kHz on conventional DTS or DTSES surround decoders 2 1 A DVD player with DTS digital output capabilities for CDLD players a player with digital outputs for conventional DTS CDsLDs and a disc recorded in DTS 9624 are required 2 The resolution is 24 or 20 bits depending on the decoder 3 DTSES Extended Surround DTSES Extended Surround is a new multichannel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc While offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format DTSES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360 degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals This format has been used professionally in movie theaters since 1999 In addition to the 51 surround channels FL FR C SL SR and LFE DTSES Extended Surround also offers the SB Surround Back sometimes also referred to as surround center channel for surround playback with a total of 61 channels DTSES Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods as described below 2 DTSES Discrete 61 DTSES Discrete 61 is the newest recording format With it all 61 channels including the SB channel are recorded independently using a digital discrete system The main feature of this format is that because the SL SR and SB channels are fully independent the sound can be designed with total freedom and it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic images are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTSES decoder when played with a conventional DTS decoder the SB channel signals are automatically downmixed to the SL and SR channels so none of the signal components are lost 2 DTSES Matrix 61 With this format the additional SB channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the SL and SR channels beforehand Upon playback they are decoded to the SL SR and SB channels The performance of the encoder used at the time of recording can be fully matched using a high precision digital matrix decoder developed by DTS thereby achieving surround sound more faithful to the producers sound design aims than with conventional 51 or 61channel systems In addition the bit stream format is 100 compatible with conventional DTS signals so the effect of the Matrix 61 format can be achieved even with 51channel signal sources Of course it is also possible to play DTSES Matrix 61 encoded sources with a DTS 51channel decoder
