28 ENAmbience effectsMulti channel surround sound (SRS Circle Surround II)SRS Circle Surround II ™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™resulting in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic,multi-channel, surround sound playback from a stereo source orconventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoylistening to Dolby Digital sound/DTS multi-channel sound with yourmulti-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast andHome Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a newtype of sound through SRS Circle Surround II.The CS system dramatically reduces storage space requirements formulti-channel content. It creates a listening environment that placesthe listener “inside” music performances, and dramatically improvesboth hi-fi audio and conventional surround-encoded video material.The CS decoder also includes the SRS technologies Focus™ andTruBass™. Focus electronically raises the sound stage from thespeaker location to an optimal position. TruBass creates deep, richbass in small speaker systems without the need for a subwoofer.DVD 6-channel modeUsing a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channelsand the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD sourcematerial in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital andeach channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality,sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-directional bass singnals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deepbass sound effects.DSP modeThe DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hallto almost any type of program source. These modes are particularlyeffective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television,and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB,THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch aconcert or sporting event!What's DSP?DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on avariety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation(the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP tocreate reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the originalsignal.DTSThe DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVDsoftware. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded insidemost CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listento DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD,LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. Thisnoise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to ahigh power amplification system. Proper measures for playing thedigital output as described below should be taken to avoid thissituation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with abuilt-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digitaloutput (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deepbass sound effects.DTS has a .1 or LFE channel.The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is beinginput for this channel.Center speakerSubwoofer(SW)Surroundspeakers(L, R) Surroundback speakerFront speakers (L, R)Center speakerSubwoofer (SW)Surroundspeakers(L, R)Front speakers (L, R)Center speakerSubwoofer (SW)*Surroundspeakers(L, R)Front speakers (L, R)Center speakerSubwoofer (SW)*Surroundspeakers(L, R)Front speakers (L, R)* Optional in this mode.
