AVR-5800/AVC-A1SE UPGRADE OPERATING INSTRUCTION

Thank you for using the AVR5800/AVC-A1SE Upgrade Service.

When using the amplifier after upgrading it, please refer to these instructions as well as the operating instructions

included with the AVR5800/AVC-A1SE.

FEATURES

1. Lucasfilm THX Ultra2 Certified

Home THX is the unique collaboration between

Lucasfilm Ltd. and audio equipment

manufacturers. THX Ultra2 certification is the

highest performance level, and provides a

rigorous set of performance standards, along with

proprietary surround sound post-processing

technologies, designed to enhance the surround

soundtrack playback experience in the home

theater.

In addition to improvements to the power

amplifier with respect to previous THX Ultra

standards, two surround modes have been added:

the THX Ultra2 Cinema mode and the THX Music

mode.

2. DTS 96/24 compatibility

The AVR-5800/AVC-A1SE Upgrade is compatible with

sources recorded in DTS 96/24, a new multi-channel

digital signal format developed by Digital Theater

Systems Inc.

DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multi-channel

mode on the AVR-5800/AVC-A1SE Upgrade with high

sound quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits.

3. 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.

4. Dolby Headphone Compatibility

This is a three-dimensional sound technology

developed jointly by Dolby Laboratories and Lake

Technoligy Ltd. of Australia for achieving surround

sound using regular headphones.

5. DENON Link

This terminal can be used to connect a Denon

DVD player for high quality digital multichannel

playback.

6. Digital Ext. In

This is a function for future system expansion

when using digital multichannel connections.

7. Auto Surround Mode

This function stores the surround mode last used

for an input signal in the memory and

automatically sets that surround mode the next

time that signal is input.

8. Audio Delay

This is a function for delaying the audio signal with

respect to the video signal. (0 to 200 msec)

9. Setup Lock

This is a function that locks the system setup and

surround parameter settings, etc., so that they

cannot be changed.

10. Delay Time

The maximum settable value has been changed

from 15 feet to 20 feet, the setting steps from 1

foot to 0.1 feet.

Input the combination of speakers in your system and their

corresponding sizes (Small for regular speakers, Large for full-

size, full-range) to automatically set the composition of the

signals output from the speakers and the frequency response.

Use this function when using multiple surround

speaker combinations for more ideal surround

sound. Once the combinations of surround

speakers to be used for the different surround

modes are preset, the surround speakers are

selected automatically according to the surround

mode.

This selects the subwoofer speaker for playing deep bass

signals.

This adjusts the volume of the signals output from the speakers

and subwoofer for the different channels in order to obtain

optimum effects.

This parameter is for detecting the maximum level of the low

bass signals output from the subwoofer channel in order to

protect the subwoofer from damage and prevent unpleasant

distorted sounds from being produced.

This assigns the digital input jacks for the different

input sources.

This sets whether or not to display the on-screen display that

appears on the monitor screen when the controls on the remote

control unit or main unit are operated (from MONITOR 1 outputs

only).
