Glossary
for
Sound
Mode
Allows
you
to
enjoy
5.1(or
6)
discrete
channels
of
high
quality
digital
audio
from
DTS
program
sources
bearing
the
trademark
such
as
discs,
DVD
and
compact
discs,
etc.
DTS
Digital
Surround
delivers
up
to
6
channels
of
transpar-
ent
audio(which
means
identical
to
the
original
masters)
and
results
in
exceptional
clarity
throughout
a
true
360
degree
sound
field.
The
term
DTS
is
a
trademark
of
DTS
Technology,
LLC.
Manufactured
under
license
from
DTS

The
Dolby
Digital
surround
format
lets
you
enjoy
up
to
5.1
channels
of
digital
surround
sound
from
a
Dolby
Digital
program
source.
If
you
play
DVDs
with
"
"
mark,
you
can
enjoy
even
better
sound
quality,
greater
spatial
accura-
cy,
and
improved
dynamic
range.
When
playing
recordings
of
live
music
and
classic,
this
mode
provides
a
feeling
similar
to
actually
being
in
a
small
concert
hall.
When
playing
recordings
of
live
music
and
classic,
this
mode
provides
a
feeling
similar
to
actually
being
in
a
large
con-
cert
hall.
This
mode
provides
a
three
dimensional
effect
similar
to
that
of
movie
theater.
(II)
Dolby
Pro
Logic
II
creates
five
full-bandwidth
output
channels
from
two-channel
sources.
This
is
done
using
an
advanced,
high-purity
matrix
surround
decoder
that
extracts
the
spatial
properties
of
the
original
recording
without
adding
any
new
sounds
or
tonal
colorations.
PROLOGIC
mode:
The
Pro
Logic
Emulation
mode
offers
users
the
same
robust
surround
processing
as
original
Pro
Logic,
in
case
the
source
content
is
not
of
optimum
quality,
or
if
there
is
a
desire
to
hear
the
program
more
"as
it
used
to
be."
When
this
mode
is
used,
it
is
called
Pro
Logic,
as
before.
There
is
no
"Pro
Logic
I"
mode.
The
Pro
Logic
emulation
mode
is
optional.
Dolby
does
not
require
PLII
products
to
use
the
original
Pro
Logic
decoding
algorithm.
However,
if
the
DSP
contains
the
original
Pro
Logic
code,
and
if
the
product
maker
would
like
to
use
it,
this
is
quite
accept-
able
and
even
encouraged.
A
product
must
not
offer
both
original
Pro
Logic
and
the
Pro
Logic
emulation
mode.
MOVIE
mode:
The
Movie
mode
is
for
use
with
stereo
television
shows
and
all
programs
encoded
in
Dolby
Surround.
The
result
is
enhanced
soundfield
directionality
that
approaches
the
quality
of
discrete
5.1-channel
sound.
MUSIC
mode:
The
Music
mode
is
for
use
with
any
stereo
music
recordings,
and
provides
a
wide
and
deep
sound
space.
The
Music
mode
includes
controls
that
allow
the
sound
to
be
tailored
to
individual
listening
tastes.
MATRIX
mode:
The
Matrix
mode
is
the
same
as
the
Music
mode
except
that
the
directional
enhancement
logic
is
turned
off.
It
may
be
used
to
enhance
mono
signals
by
making
them
seem
"larger."
The
Matrix
mode
may
also
find
use
in
auto
systems,
where
the
fluctuations
from
poor
FM
stereo
reception
can
otherwise
cause
disturbing
surround
signals
from
a
logic
decoder.
The
ultimate
"cure"
for
poor
FM
stereo
reception
may
be
simply
to
force
the
audio
to
mono.
SURROUND
OFF
(2CH
STEREO)
Outputs
the
sound
from
the
front
left
and
right
speakers
and
subwoofer.
Standard
two
channel
(stereo)
sources
completely
bypass
the
sound
field
processing.
This
allows
you
to
play
any
source
using
only
the
front
left
and
right
speakers
and
subwoofer.
You
can
select
SURROUND
OFF
by
pressing
BY-PASS
on
the
remote
control.
Dynamic
Range
Control
(DRC)
With
the
DVD*1
format,
you
can
hear
a
program's
soundtrack
in
the
most
accurate
and
realistic
presentation
possi-
ble,
thanks
to
digital
audio
technology.
However,
you
may
wish
to
compress
the
dynamic
range
of
the
audio
output
(the
difference
between
the
loudest
sounds and
the
quietest
ones).
Then,
you
may
listen
to
a
movie
at
a
lower
vol-
ume
without
losing
clarity
of
sound.
You
can
select
DRC
ON
or
OFF
by
pressing
DRC
on
the
remote
control.
