Additional Information

¢ Dolby Digital compatible media and playback

methods

Marks indicating Dolby Digital compatibility:

The following are general examples. Also refer to the

player’s operating instructions.

1: Some DVD digital outputs have the function of

switching the Dolby Digital signal output method

between “bit stream” and “(convert to) PCM”. When

playing in Dolby Digital surround on the AVR-4806CI,

switch the DVD player’s output mode to “bit stream”.

In some cases players are equipped with both “bit

stream + PCM” and “PCM only” digital outputs. In this

case connect the “bit stream + PCM” terminals to the

AVR-4806CI.

w Dolby Pro Logic II

• Dolby Pro Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format

developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic

steering technology and offering improvements over

conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.

• Dolby Pro Logic

II can be used to decode not only sources

recorded in Dolby Surround ( ) but also regular stereo

sources into five channels (front left, front right, center,

surround left and surround right) to achieve surround

sound.

• 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 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 57).

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 7.1 playback channels, including

the surround back channel. Dolby Pro Logic

IIx also allows

5.1-channel sources to be played in up to 7.1 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 2-channel

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 cassettes to be

played on stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo

broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts

and cable TV.

• Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it

possible to achieve multi-channel 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.

r Dolby Headphone

• This is a three-dimensional sound technology developed

jointly by Dolby Laboratories and Lake Technology Ltd. of

Australia for achieving surround sound using regular

headphones.

•Previously, when using headphones all the sounds

resonated inside the head and it was uncomfortable to

listen with headphones for long periods of time. Dolby

Headphone simulates speaker playback in a room and

places the sound at the front or the sides, outside the

head, to achieve a powerful sound like the sound of movie

or home theaters. This technology is mainly for

multichannel audio/video equipment with Dolby Digital or

Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoding functions and works

with a high performance digital signal processing (DSP)

chip.

• Dolby Headphone is effective not only for multichannel

sources but also for stereo programs.

• On the AVR-4806CI, it is possible to output signals

encoded in the Dolby Headphone mode from the recording

output terminal and record them on a separate recorder.
