Dolby Pro Logic II decoder Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel audio signals that offers improvements 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, various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so you can adjust 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 0.1 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 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD and specially-encoded music discs. 4. High performance DSP simulates 7 sound fields Playback is possible in 7 surround modes: 5-channel Stereo, Mono Movie, Rock Arena, Jazz Club, Video Game, Matrix and Virtual. You can enjoy a variety of sound effects for different movie scenes and program sources even with stereo sources not in Dolby Surround. 5. Personal Memory Plus function Personal Memory Plus is an advanced version of Personal Memory. With Personal Memory Plus, the set automatically memorizes the surround mode, channel volume, surround parameters, etc., for each of the separate input sources. 6. Remote control unit with pre-memory function This unit comes with a remote control unit equipped with a pre-memory function. The remote control command codes for DENON remote controllable AV components as well as for LD players, video decks, TVs, etc., of other major manufacturers are prestored in the memory. 7. EXT.

Select this when using speakers that cannot reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz with sufficient volume. When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below 80 Hz are assigned to the subwoofer. None...... Select this when no speakers are installed. Yes/No.... Select "Yes" when a subwoofer is installed, "No" when it's not installed. NOTE: Select "Large" or "Small" not according to the physical size of the speaker, but according to the bass reproduction capacity at 80 Hz. If you cannot determine the best setting, try comparing the sound when set to "Small" and when set to "Large", at a level that will not damage the speakers. Caution: In case the subwoofer is not used, be sure to set "Subwoofer = No", or the bass sound of front channel is divided to subwoofer channel and not reproduced in some mode. 2 3 *SYSTEM SET UP NOTE: Please make sure the "AUDIO" position of the slide switch on the remote control unit.

The low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are produced from those channels. -- Crossover Frequency -- · When "Subwoofer" is set to "Yes" at the "Speaker Configuration Setting", set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover frequency). · For speakers aet to "Small", sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass sound is output from the subwoofer instead. NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When using small speakers, however, setting the crossover frequency to high frequency may improve frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency. -- Subwoofer mode -- · The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when "LARGE" is set for the front speakers and "YES" is set for the subwoofer in the "Speaker Configuration" settings (see page 10). If "SMALL" is set for the front speakers or "NO" is set for the subwoofer, the subwoofer mode setting does not affect playback of low frequency signal range. · When the "+MAIN" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are produced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel. In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range. · When the "NORM" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are only produced from those channels. In this playback mode there tends to be little interference of the low frequency range in the room. · Try playing the music or movie source and select the playback mode providing the stronger low frequency range sound.
