3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

Switching the input function when input jacks are not

connected

A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks.

Muting of PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER

terminals

The PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power operation switch is turned on or input function, surround mode or any other set-up is changed. If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.

Whenever the unit is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is

still connected on AC line voltage.

Please be sure to turn the power off ( off) when you leave

home for, say, a vacation.

2 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV. If this happens, take the following steps: Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV. Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this units

power cord and input/output connection cords. Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor

antennas or 300 /ohms feeder wires. We recommend using

outdoor antennas and 75 /ohms coaxial cables.

For heat dispersal, leave at least 0.3 ft (10 cm) of space between

the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other

components.

Speaker system connections

Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched (< with <, > with >). Mismatching of polarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired.

When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel.

Speaker Impedance

When speaker systems A and B are use separately, speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as front speakers.

Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 /ohms.

Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as center and surround and surround back speakers.

The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance are connected.

NOTE:

NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.

Doing so could result in electric shocks.

Connecting the speaker cords

1. Loosen by turning counterclockwise.

2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turning clockwise.

Protector circuit

This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period which results in an extreme temperature rise. When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator LED flashes. Should this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation condition around the unit and switch the power back on. If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON service center.

Note on speaker impedance

The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 /ohms) are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the sets power, wait for the set to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on.

NOTES:

Assignment of low frequency signal range

The signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low frequency signal range of channels set to SMALL in the setup. The low frequency signal range of channels set to LARGE are produced from those channels.

Crossover Frequency

When Subwoofer is set to Yes at the Speaker Configuration Setting, set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover frequency).

For speakers set to Small, sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass sound is output from the subwoofer instead. NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When using small speakers, however,

setting the crossover frequency to a high frequency may improve frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency.

Subwoofer mode

The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when LARGE is set for the front speakers and YES is set for the subwoofer in the Speaker Configuration settings (see pages 19, 20). If SMALL is set for the front speakers or NO is set for the subwoofer, the subwoofer mode setting does not affect playback of low frequency signal range.

When the +MAIN playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to LARGE are produced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel. In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.

When the NORM playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to LARGE are only produced from those channels. In this playback mode there tends to be little interference of the low frequency range in the room.

Try playing the music or movie source and select the playback mode providing the stronger low frequency range sound.

If no digital signal is being input, the analog input jacks are selected. Use this mode to play Dolby Digital signals.

w PCM (exclusive PCM signal playback mode) Decoding and playback are only performed when PCM signals are being input. Note that noise may be generated when using this mode to play signals other than PCM signals.

e DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode) Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS signals are being input.

r ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode) The signals input to the analog input jacks are decoded and played.

t EXT. IN (external decoder input jack selection mode) The signals being input to the external decoder input jacks are played without passing through the surround circuitry.

NOTE:

Note that noise will be output when CDs or LDs recorded in DTS format are played in the PCM (exclusive PCM signal playback) or ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback) mode. Select the AUTO or DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback) mode when playing signals recorded in DTS from a laser disc player.

Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS

Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and

while searching during DTS playback in the AUTO mode. If

so, play in the DTS mode.

Surround parameters q

Pro Logic IIx and Pro Logic II Mode:

The Cinema mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround.

The Music mode is recommended as the standard mode for auto sound music systems (no video), and is optional for A/V systems.

The Pro Logic mode offers the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic in case the source contents is not of optimum quality.

The Game mode for playing games.The game mode can only be used with 2-channel audio sources. Select one of the modes (Cinema, Music, Pro Logicor Game). Panorama Control:

This mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting wraparound effect with side wall imaging. Select OFF or ON. Dimension Control:

This control gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear. The control can be set in 7 steps from 0 to 6. Center Width Control:

This control adjust the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees. The control can be set in 8 steps from 0 to 7.

DTS NEO:6 Mode:

Cinema

This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources. This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels).

Music

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels add a natural sense of expansion to the sound field.

CENTER IMAGE (0.0 to 1.0: default 0.3): The center image parameter for adjusting the expansion of the center channel in the DTS NEO:6 MUSIC mode has been added.

2 Dialogue Normalization

The dialogue normalization function is activated automatically when playing Dolby Digital program sources. Dialogue normalization is a basic function of Dolby Digital which automatically normalizes the dialog level (standard level) of the signals which are recorded at different levels for different program sources, such as DVD, DTV and other future formats that will use Dolby Digital. These contents can be verified with the STATUS button.

The number indicates the normalization level when the currently playing program is normalized to the standard level.OFFSET - 4dB

Display

Surround parameters w

CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer):

The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright sounding motion picture soundtracks. Select this function if the sound from the front speakers is too bright. This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround and DTS NEO:6 modes. (The same contents are set for all operating modes.)

D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):

Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). For listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range). (This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.) Select one of the four parameters (OFF, LOW, MID (middle) or HI (high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect):

This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sounds included in the source when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS. If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted due to the LFE signals when playing Dolby Digital or DTS sources when the peak limiter is turned off with the subwoofer peak limit level setting (system setup menu), adjust the level as necessary. Program source and adjustment range: 1. Dolby Digital: 10 dB to 0 dB 2. DTS Surround: 10 dB to 0 dB

When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for correct DTS playback.

When DTS encoded music software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 10 dB for correct DTS playback.

TONE:

This adjusts the tone control. This can be set individually for the separate shroud mode other than Direct mode.

SB CH OUT (Surround Back):

(1) (Multi channel source) OFF ..................Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker. NON MTRX......The same signals those of the surround channels are output from the surround back channels. MTRX ON ........Surround back channel is reproduced using digital matrix processing. ES MTRX .........When playing DTS signals, the surround back signals undergo digital matrix processing for playback. ES DSCRT........When a signal identifying the source as a discrete 6.1-channel source is included in the DTS signals, the surround back

signals included in the source are played. PL IIx Music ....Processing is performed with the Music mode of the PL IIx decoder and the Surround Back channel is reproduced.

(2) (2ch source) OFF ..................Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker. ON ...................Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker.

NOTE: This operation can be performed directly using the SURROUND BACK button on the main units panel.

This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism.

Use this to enjoy video game sources.

Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.

Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo. Signals consisting of the difference component of the input signals (the component that provides the sense of expansion) processed for delay are output from the surround channel.

In this mode, the signals of the front left channel are output from the left surround channel, the signals of the front right channel are output from the right surround channel, and the same (in-phase) component of the left and right channels is output from the center channel. This mode provides all speaker surround sound, but without directional steering effects, and works with any stereo program source.

Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable. In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.

NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right), so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a Y adaptor cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.

Personal Memory Plus

This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.

The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each surround mode.

18 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Optimum surround sound for different sources

There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals or formats with more than two channels).

2 Types of multi-channel signals

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS, high definition 3-1 signals (Japan MUSE Hi-Vision audio), DVD-Audio, SACD (Super Audio CD), MPEG multi- channel audio, etc.

Source here does not refer to the type of signal (format) but the recorded content. Sources can be divided into two major categories.

2 Types of sources

Movie audio Signals created to be played in movie theaters. In general sound is recorded to be played in movie theaters equipped with multiple surround speakers, regardless of the format (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.).

FL CSW FR

FL CSW FRSL SR

SB

SL SR

Multiple surround speakers

Movie theater sound field

Listening room sound field

In this case it is important to achieve the same sense of expansion as in a movie theater with the surround channels. To do so, in some cases the number of surround speakers is increased (to four or eight) or speakers with bipolar or dipolar properties are used.

Other types of audio These signals are designed to recreate a 360 sound field using three to five speakers.

In this case the speakers should surround the listener from all sides to create a uniform sound field from 360. Ideally the surround speakers should function as point sound sources in the same way as the front speakers.

FL CSW FR

SL SR

These two types of sources thus have different properties, and different speaker settings, particularly for the surround speakers, are required in order to achieve the ideal sound.

SL: Surround L channel SR: Surround R channel SB: Surround back channel

(For 6.1-channel system)

ENGLISH

57

Surround back speakers

A 6.1-channel system is a conventional 5.1-channel system to which the surround back (SB) channel has been added. This makes it easy to achieve sound positioned directly behind the listener, something that was previously difficult with sources designed for conventional multi surround speakers. In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of the surround signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from the front to the point directly behind the listening position.

Change of positioning and acoustic image with 5.1-channel systems

With this set, speaker(s) for 1 or 2 channels are required to achieve a 6.1-channel system (DTS-ES, etc.). Adding these speakers, however, increases the surround effect not only with sources recorded in 6.1 channels but also with conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources. All the Denon original surround modes (see page 47) are compatible with 6.1-channel playback, so you can enjoy 6.1-channel sound with any signal source.

2 Placement of the surround left and right channels when using surround back speakers

Using surround back speakers greatly improves the positioning of the sound at the rear. Because of this, the surround left and right channels play an important role in achieving a smooth transition of the acoustic image from the front to the back. As shown on the diagram above, in a movie theater the surround signals are also produced from diagonally in front of the listeners, creating an acoustic image as if the sound were floating in space. To achieve these effects, we recommend placing the speakers for the surround left and right channels slightly more towards the front than with conventional surround systems. Doing so sometimes increases the surround effect when playing conventional 5.1-channel sources in the 6.1 surround or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode. Check the surround effects of the various modes before selecting the surround mode.

ENGLISH

58

Set the front speakers, center speaker and subwoofer in the same positions as in example (1).

It is best to place the surround speakers directly at the side or slightly to the front of the viewing position, and 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) above the ears.

Same as surround back speaker installation method (1). Using dipolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well is more effective.

Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker jacks. The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as

shown on the diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and realistic surround sound presentation. For multi-channel music sources however, the use of bipolar or dipolar speakers mounted at the sides of the listening position may not be satisfactory in order to create a coherent 360 degree surround sound field. Connect another pair of direct radiating speakers as described in example (3) and place them at the rear corners of the room facing towards the prime listening position.

Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with the TV or monitor screen as possible. Set the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.

Consult the owners manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing the subwoofer within the listening room.

If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place them slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and parallel to the walls at a position 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) above ear level at the prime listening position.

When using one surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.

We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the monitor or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.

Speaker setting examples

Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the type of speakers used and the main usage purpose.

1. DTS-ES compatible system (using surround back speakers)

(1) Basic setting for primarily watching movies

(2) Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers

For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

Surround

The AVR-1505/485 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater.

Dolby Surround

(1) Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital consists of up to 5.1 channels - front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an additional channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects (the Low Frequency Effects LFE channel, also called the .1 channel, containing bass frequencies of up to 120 Hz). Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Dolby Digitals main channels can all contain full range sound information, from the lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies 22 kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging, and Dolby Digital offers tremendous dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion.

(2) Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx furthers the matrix decoding technology of Dolby Pro Logic II to decode audio signals recorded on two channels into up to 6.1 playback channels, including the surround back channel. Dolby Pro Logic IIx also allows 5.1-channel sources to be played in up to 6.1 channels. The mode can be selected according to the source. The Music mode is best suited for playing music, the Cinema mode for playing movies, and the Game mode for playing games. The Game mode can only be used with 2-channel audio sources.

DTS Digital Surround

Digital Theater Surround (also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems. DTS offers the same 5.1 playback channels as Dolby Digital (front left, front right and center, surround left and surround right) as well as the stereo 2-channel mode. The signals for the different channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of deterioration of sound quality due to interference between signals, crosstalk, etc. DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby Digital (1234 kbps for CDs and LDs, 1536 kbps for DVDs) so it operates with a relatively low compression rate. Because of this the amount of data is great, and when DTS playback is used in movie theaters, a separate CD- ROM synchronized with the film is played. With LDs and DVDs, there is of course no need for an extra disc; the pictures and sound can be recorded simultaneously on the same disc, so the discs can be handled in the same way as discs with other formats. There are also music CDs recorded in DTS. These CDs include 5.1-channel surround signals (compared to two channels on current CDs). They do not include picture data, but they offer surround playback on CD players that are equipped with digital outputs (PCM type digital output required). DTS surround track playback offers the same intricate, grand sound as in a movie theater, right in your own listening room.

(3) Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro-Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and

offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ( ) but also regular stereo sources into five channels

(front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound. Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro Logic II offers a wider

band range (20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater). In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the same) with previous Dolby Pro Logic, but Dolby Pro Logic II they are played as stereo signals.

Various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so it is possible to achieve optimum decoding (see page 51).

Sources recorded in Dolby Surround These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals using Dolby Surround encoding technology. Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to be played on stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV. Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback. The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.

There are two types of DVD Dolby surround recording signals. q 2-channel PCM stereo signals w 2-channel Dolby Digital signals

When either of these signals is input to the AVR-1505/485, the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby Pro Logic II when the DOLBY/DTS SURROUND mode is selected.

DTS-ES Extended Surround

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie theaters since 1999. In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB (Surround Back, sometimes also referred to as surround center) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods, as described below.

2 DTS-ESTM Discrete 6.1

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 is the newest recording format. With it, all 6.1 channels (including the SB channel) are recorded independently using a digital discrete system. The main feature of this format is that because the SL, SR and SB channels are fully independent, the sound can be designed with total freedom and it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic images are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS-ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder the SB channel signals are automatically down-mixed to the SL and SR channels, so none of the signal components are lost.

2 DTS-ESTM Matrix 6.1

With this format, the additional SB channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the SL and SR channels beforehand. Upon playback they are decoded to the SL, SR and SB channels. The performance of the encoder used at the time of recording can be fully matched using a high precision digital matrix decoder developed by DTS, thereby achieving surround sound more faithful to the producers sound design aims than with conventional 5.1- or 6.1-channel systems. In addition, the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, so the effect of the Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved even with 5.1-channel signal sources. Of course it is also possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 encoded sources with a DTS 5.1-channel decoder.

When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 encoded sources are decoded with a DTS-ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum playing mode is selected. However, some Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as having a 5.1-channel format, so the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode must be set manually to play these sources. (For instructions on selecting the surround mode, see page 44.)

The DTS-ES decoder includes another function, the DTS Neo:6 surround mode for 6.1-channel playback of digital PCM and analog signal sources.

2 DTS Neo:6TM surround

This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1- channel surround playback. High precision input signal detection and matrix processing enable full band reproduction (frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) for all 6.1 channels, and separation between the different channels is improved to the same level as that of a digital discrete system. DTS Neo:6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source. DTS Neo:6 Cinema

This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources. This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels).

DTS Neo:6 Music

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels add a natural sense of expansion to the sound field.

ENGLISH

1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals. Because of this, the un-decoded DTS signals are output as random hissy noise from the CD or LD players analog outputs. If this noise is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume, it may possibly cause damage to the speakers. To avoid this, be sure to switch the input mode to AUTO or DTS before playing CDs or LDs recorded in DTS. Also, never switch the input mode to ANALOG or PCM during playback. The same holds true when playing CDs or LDs on a DVD player or LD/DVD compatible player. For DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this problem does not occur.

2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of internal signal processing (output level adjustment, sampling frequency conversion, etc.). In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case they cannot be decoded by the AVR-1505/485, or may only produce noise. Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the master volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on the AVR-1505/485 (see page 35) lights before turning up the master volume.

3 A DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs. A DTS Digital Output logo is featured on the front panel of compatible DVD players. Recent DENON DVD player models feature DTS-compatible digital output consult the players owners manual for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS-encoded DVDs.

DTS 96/24

The sampling frequency, number of bits and number of channels used for recording of music, etc., in studios has been increasing in recent years, and there are a growing number of high quality signal sources, including 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel sources.

For example, there are high picture/sound quality DVD video sources with 96 kHz/24 bit stereo PCM audio tracks. However, because the data rate for these audio tracks is extremely high, there are limits to recording them on two channels only, and since the quality of the pictures must be restricted it is common to only include still pictures. In addition, 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel surround is possible with DVD audio sources, but DVD audio players are required to play them with this high quality.

DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. in order to deal with this situation.

Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies of 48 or 44.1 kHz, so 20 kHz was about the maximum playback signal frequency. With DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz. In addition, DTS 96/24 has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM.

As with conventional DTS Surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with a maximum of 5.1 channels, so sources recorded using DTS 96/24 can be played in high sampling frequency, multiple channel audio with such normal media as DVD videos and CDs. Thus, with DTS 96/24, the same 96 kHz/24 bit multi-channel surround sound as with DVD-Audio can be achieved while viewing DVD-Video images on a conventional DVD-Video player ( 1). Furthermore, with DTS 96/24 compatible CDs, 88.2 kHz/24 bit multi-channel surround can be achieved using normal CD/LD players ( 1).

Even with the high quality multi-channel signals, the recording time is the same as with conventional DTS surround sources. Whats more, DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so DTS 96/24 signal sources can be played with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz on conventional DTS or DTS-ES surround decoders ( 2).

1 A DVD player with DTS digital output capabilities (for CD/LD players, a player with digital outputs for conventional DTS CDs/LDs) and a disc recorded in DTS 96/24 are required.

2 The resolution is 24 or 20 bits, depending on the decoder.

Note:

When a subwoofer has been connected and the virtual surround function is being used, the signal played from the subwoofer channel is LFE only (only when playing Dolby Digital or DTS signals) for initial factory settings (i.e., the setting of the front speaker is LARGE and the setting of the subwoofer mode is NORM). When subwoofer effects are felt to be weak, while in the system setup mode try setting the subwoofer mode to +MAIN, or the front speaker to SMALL in the system setup Speaker Configuration settings. Making these settings will result in the low-frequency sounds of the front channel being played from the subwoofer.
