• DTS Neo:6 Cinema

This mode is optimum for playing movies Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same

atmosphere with 2=channel sources as with 6.1=channel sources.

This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as weJl, because the imphase component is

assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels)

• DTS Neo:6 Music

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there

is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels

add a natural sense of expansion to the sound field.

(4) DTS 96/24

The sampling frequency, number of bits and number of channels used for recording of music, etc., in studios has been increasing recent

years, and there are a growing number of high quality signal sources, including 96 kHz/24 bit 5.%channel sources

For example, there are high picture/sound quality DVD video sources with 96 kHz/24 bit 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 kHz/24 bit 5.1=channel surround is possible with DVD audio sources, but DVD audio players are required to play them with this

high quality.

DTS 96/24 is a multFchannel 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 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 882 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz.

In addition, DTS 96/24 has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM.

As with conventional DTS Surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with a maximum of 51 channels, so sources recorded using DTS 96/24 can be

played in high sampling frequency, multiple channel audio with such normal media as DVD videos and CDs.

Thus, with DTS 96/24, the same 96 kHz/24 bit multFchannel surround sound as with DVD_Audio can be achieved while viewing DVD=Video

images on a conventional DVD_Video player ( _ 1) Furthermore, with DTS 96/24 compatible CDs, 882 kHz/24 bit multi-channel surround can

be achieved using normal CD/LD players (,_ 1).

Even with the high quality multFchannel signals, the recording time is the same as with conventional DTS surround sources

What's more, DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so DTS 96/24 signal sources can be played with a

sampling frequency of 48 kHz or 441 kHz on conventional DTS or DTS_ES surround decoders ('_2)

1 : A DVD player with DTS digital output capabilities (for CD/LD players, a player with digital outputs for conventional DTS CDs/LDs) and

a disc recorded in DTS 96/24 are required.

"_2: The resolution is 24 or 20 bits, depending on the decoder

(5) Home THX Cinema Surround

THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd THX grew

from George Lucas' personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home theater, as

faithful as possible to what the director intended

Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters with

similar equipment and conditions The soundtrack created for movie theaters is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc,

and is not changed for playback in a small home theater environment

THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theater environment into the home,

correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On the AVR_5803, when the Home THX Cinema mode is on, THX processing is automatically

added after the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS decoder:

Re-Equalization TM

The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because film

soundtracks are designed to be played back in large mowe theaters using very different professional equipment Re-Equalizagon restores the

correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a small home environment.

Timbre MatchingTM

The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the direction from which the sound is coming In a movie theater, there is

an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is all around you. In a home theater, only two speakers located to the side of

your head are used. The ]-mbre Matching feature filters the information going to the surround speakers so that they more closely match the

tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers.

Adaptive Decorrelation TM

In a movie theater, a large number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound experience, while in a home theater there

are usually only two speakers This can make the surround speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The

surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you move away from the middle seating position Adaptive Decorrelagon slightly

changes one surround channel's time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel This expands the listening position

and creates--with only two speakers--the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theater.
