FEATURES

1. Dolby Virtual Speaker compatibility

The AVR-550SD is equipped with power amplifiers

that make it compatible with new Dolby Virtual

Speaker technology for recreating a 5.1-channel

environment virtually using a 2-channel

configuration. (Dolby Virtual Speaker is an

proprietary technology of Dolby Laboratories.) A

high performance digital signal processor enables

playback of Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel

surround signals in the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode.

Surround sound can be achieved with the Dolby

Virtual Speaker mode for CDs and other 2-channel

sources in combination with the Dolby Pro Logic

decoder.

2. Dolby Digital EX decoder system

proposed by Dolby Laboratories that allows users to

enjoy in their homes the “DOLBY DIGITAL

SURROUND EX” audio format jointly developed by

Dolby Laboratories and Lucas Films and first used

for the movie “Star Wars Episode 1 – Phantom

Menace”.

The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround back

channels, provide improved sound positioning and

expression of space.

3. Dolby Pro Logic IIx compatibility

Dolby Pro Logic IIx furthers the matrix decording

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.

regular stereo sources.

6. DTS 96/24 compatibility

The AVR-550SD can be decoded 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-550SD with high sound

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

7. On Screen Diaplay

Troublesome operations such as adjusting the

delay time and other parameters according to the

listening environment are greatly simplified. The

various parameters can be set simply by selecting

the graphic displayed on the monitor screen

according to the listening room’s system

environment.

8. Video Conversion Function

The AVR-550SD is equipped with a function for

converting the signals input to the video input

connector and S-Video input connector. With this

function, the AVR-550SD’s monitor out connector

and the monitor (TV) can be connected with video

pin-plug cords or an S-Video connection cord.
