Reproducing Theater Ambience  
Introducing the Surround Modes  
Dolby Digital*1  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed  
by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and  
decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).  
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to  
reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you from all  
directions.  
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement  
can be expressed.  
• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,  
the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same  
surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only  
a limited number of the speakers.  
Dolby Digital 5.1CH  
Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) encoding method  
records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front  
channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround  
channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE  
channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel).  
Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff  
frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for  
Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there”  
feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.  
Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby  
Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which adds the third surround  
channels, called “surround back.”  
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly  
added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed  
movements behind you while viewing the video software. In  
addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.  
You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing  
back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates  
the great surround effect from the behind as if you have  
connected the surround back speakers.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert  
2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrix-  
based conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no  
limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and  
enables stereo surround sound.  
• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes—  
Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music  
(PLII MUSIC).  
Subwoofer  
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
PRO LOGIC  
PLII MOVIE: Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround  
encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field

channel sounds.

Using the Surround Modes  
DTS*2  
What is Linear PCM?  
Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs and Video  
CDs.  
DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at  
quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video  
CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.  
• When Linear PCM signal is detected, the  
indicator lights up.  
DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by  
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding  
and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).  
• When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
DTS Digital Surround  
DTS Digital Surround (DTS SURROUND) is another discrete  
5.1-channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD  
software.  
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a  
lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and  
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround  
features natural, solid, and clear sound.  
What is Dual Mono?  
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the  
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)  
format used for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format  
is not identical with those analog formats).  
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It  
allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub-  
channel) to be recorded separately.  
• When Dual Mono signal is detected, the  
lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to  
(see page 19).  
Another multi-channel digital encoding format introduced by Digital  
Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).  
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space  
expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back  
channel.  
indicator  
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal  
recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix  
6.1ch.  
You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing  
back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround  
effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back  
speakers.  
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to “NONE”  
in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are  
allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.  
• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to  
“NONE” in the speaker setting, JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC  
processing (which has been developed to create the surround  
effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC  
indicator lights up on the display.  
DTS 96/24  
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling  
rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher  
sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths  
provide extended dynamic range.  
DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24  
bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver “better-  
than-CD sound quality” into the home.  
3D Headphone Mode—3D H PHONE
