ZONE 2 (for U.S.A., Canada and Australia models) Only analog signals are sent to the second room. For any source you want to listen to in the second room, you must connect the analog output jack from the source to the corresponding analog input jack on this unit.
ZONE 2 ■ Special considerations when using DTS software 5 Press SOURCE SELECT k to display “Zone2” in the display window. The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Therefore, if you attempt to send the DTS signal to the second room, you will only be able to hear the digital noise sound that could damage your speakers. Due to this characteristic of DTS encoded discs, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made.
SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING What really creates the rich, full tones of a live instrument are the multiple reflections from the walls of the room. In addition to making the sound “live”, these reflections enable us to tell where the player is situated, and the size and shape of the room in which we are sitting.
SOUND FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER EDITING Changing Parameter Settings You can enjoy good quality sound with the factory-set parameters. Although you do not have to change the initial settings, you can change some of the parameters to better suit the input source or your listening room. 3 10KEY DSP EX/ES HALL 1 HALL 2 2 3 4 ENTERTAINMENT MUSIC VIDEO TV THEATER 6 7 5 MOVIE THEATER 1 MOVIE THEATER 2 9 10 11 12 0 +10 +100 A/B/C/D/E 8 /DTS SUR.
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ DSP LEVEL Function: Description: Control Range –6 dB – +3 dB This parameter adjusts the level of all the DSP effect sounds within a narrow range. Depending on the acoustics of you listening room, you may want to increase or decrease the DSP effect level relative to the direct sound.
DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS ■ LIVENESS Function: Description: Control Range 0 – 10 This parameter adjusts the reflectivity of the virtual walls in the hall by changing the rate at which the early reflections decay. The early reflections of a sound source decay much faster in a room with acoustically absorbent wall surfaces than in one which has highly reflective surfaces.
DIGITAL SOUND SOUND FIELD FIELD PROGRAM PARAMETER PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS EDITING ■ REV. TIME (Reverberation Time) Function: This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an extremely wide range. Set a longer reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening room environments, and a shorter time for “live” sources and listening room environments.

GLOSSARY ■ Dolby Surround Dolby Surround uses a four analog channel recording system to reproduce realistic and dynamic sound effects: two left and right main channels (stereo), a center channel for dialog (monaural), and a rear channel for special sound effects (monaural). The rear channel reproduces sound within a narrow frequency range. Dolby Surround is widely used with nearly all video tapes and laser discs, and in many TV and cable broadcasts as well.
GLOSSARY ■ Virtual CINEMA DSP ■ S VIDEO signal ■ Component video signal Although component is normally connected according to jack names shown on the rear panel, this unit includes a function that assigns jacks according to the component being connected. If the component being used differs from the component name shown for this unit’s component video input jacks or digital input/output jacks, it is possible to assign jacks according to the component being connected.
