Using the DSP Modes [DSP MODE]
The built-in Surround Processor provides two types of the DSP

(Digital Acoustic Processor) mode.
Surround modes
With this system, you can use two types of the Surround mode.
Dolby Surround (Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro
Logic)*
Used to watch the soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby
Digital (bearing the mark ) or with Dolby Surround
(bearing the mark ).
Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic can be selected automatically
according to software played back.
DTS Digital Surround**
DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format
available on CD and DVD software.
To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark ,
the system can provide you with DTS Digital Surround decoder.
DTS Digital Surround is automatically selected according to
software played back.
MPEG Multichannel
MPEG Multichannel is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio
format available on DVD software, and uses encoding method
called MPEG2-Audio. (MPEG stands for “Motion Picture Expert
Group” and has been originally developed for compressing video
signals.) To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the
mark , the center unit can provide you with MPEG
Multichannel decoder.
Note:
• Change the decode mode from “AUTO/PCM” to “DTS”
before playing an Audio CD recorded with DTS Digital

DAP modes
The sound heard in a concert hall or club consists of direct sound
and indirect sound — early reflections and reflections from
behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any
reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the
distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect
sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround
effects. The DAP mode can create these important elements, and
gives you a real “being there” feeling.
Notes:
• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.
• The DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up when the signals
encoded with Dolby Digital come into the system.
• The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up when the signals
encoded with Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system
is activated.
• The dts indicator lights up when the signals encoded with
DTS Digital Surround come into the system.
• The effects can be adjusted when the DAP mode is
selected (see page 54).
