5ENGLISH3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING4 FEATURES• Switching the input function when input jacks are notconnectedA clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switchedwhen nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens,either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connectcomponents to the input jacks.• Muting of PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKERterminalsThe PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminalsinclude a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals aregreatly reduced for several seconds after the power operationswitch is turned on or input function, surround mode or any otherset-up is changed.If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be veryhigh after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait untilthe muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.• Whenever the power operation switch is in the STANDBYstate, the apparatus is still connected on some AC linevoltages.Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for,say, a vacation.1. Dolby Pro Logic II decoderDolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel audiosignals that offers improvements over conventional Dolby ProLogic. It can be used to decode not only sources recorded inDolby Surround but also regular stereo sources into five channels(front left/right, center and surround left/right). In addition, variousparameters can be set according to the type of source and thecontents, so you can adjust the sound field with greater precision.2. Dolby Digital decoderDolby Digital, a digital discrete system in which the differentchannels are completely independent, recreates “three-dimensional” sound fields (sounds with a sense of distance,movement and position) with no crosstalk between channels forgreater reality. In addition, the 5 channels (excluding the 0.1channel for low frequency effects) have a playback rangeextending to 20 kHz, the same as the range of CDs, thus resultingin clearer, more richly expressive sound.3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelitysurround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD andspecially-encoded music discs.4. High performance DSP simulates 7 sound fieldsPlayback is possible in 7 surround modes: 5-channel Stereo, MonoMovie, Rock Arena, Jazz Club, Video Game, Matrix and Virtual.You can enjoy a variety of sound effects for different moviescenes and program sources even with stereo sources not inDolby Surround.5.
