JVC LVT1321-010C Instructions Manual

30DTS Neo:6DTS Neo:6 is another conversion method to create 6-channel(plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software by usingthe high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix6.1ch.• This receiver provides the following DTS Neo:6 modes—Neo:6Cinema (NEO:6 CINEMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 MUSIC).When one of them is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up onthe display.NEO:6 CINEMA Suitable for playing movies. You can get thesame atmosphere with 2-channel software aswith 6.1-channel software. It is also effective forplaying software encoded with conventionalsurround formats.NEO:6 MUSIC Suitable for playing music software. The frontchannel signals bypass the decoder (resulting inno loss of sound quality) and the surroundsignals transmitted through the other speakersexpand the sound field naturally.** “DTS”, “DTS-ES”, “Neo:6” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarksof Digital Theater Systems, Inc.When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of theactivated speakers which the Surround mode requires.• If either “SURROUND SPK” or “CENTER SPK” is set to“<NO>” in the speaker setting (see page 19), thecorresponding channel signals are allocated to and emittedthrough the front speakers.• If both “SURROUND SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to“<NO>” in the speaker setting (see page 19), JVC’s original3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to createthe surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.3D HEADPHONE modeIf you connect a pair of headphones while one of the Surroundmodes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activatedwithout respect to the type of software played back.“3D HEADPHONE” appears on the display and the DSP andHEADPHONE indicators light up.About other digital signalsLinear PCMUncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, andVideo CDs.DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, atquantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs andVideo CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.• When Linear PCM signal is detected, the LINEAR PCMindicator lights up.Dual MonoDual Mono can be easily understood when you think of thebilingual broadcast for TV programs (however, the Dual Monoformat is not identical with those analog formats).This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. Itallows two independent channels (called main channel andsub-channel) to be recorded separately.• You can select either channel you want to listen to (seepage 21).Dolby Pro Logic IIxDolby Pro Logic IIx is a newly introduced multi-channel playbackformat to convert not only multi-channel software but 2-channelsoftware into 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel) that developed fromDolby Pro Logic II. The matrix-based conversion method used forDolby Pro Logic IIx makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency ofthe surround treble.• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes—Pro Logic IIx Movie (PLIIx MOVIE) and Pro Logic IIx Music(PLIIx MUSIC).When Dolby Pro Logic IIx is activated, “PLIIx MOVIE” or “PLIIxMUSIC” appear and the indicator lights up on thedisplay.PLIIx MOVIE Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encodedsoftware. You can enjoy a sound field with anatural wraparound effect.PLIIx MUSIC Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereosoftware. You can enjoy wide and deep 7.1-channel sounds.• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect thesource component using the digital terminal on the rear of thisreceiver. (See page 11.)■ DTS**DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed byDigital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channelencoding and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).• When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, theindicator lights up on the display.DTS Digital SurroundDTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another discrete 5.1 channeldigital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has alower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth anddepth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surroundfeatures natural, solid, and clear sound.DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)DTS-ES is another multi-channel digital encoding format.It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression andspace expression by adding the third surround channel—surroundback channel.DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signalrecording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (ES DISCRETE)and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (ES MATRIX).DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch has been designed to encode (anddecode) a 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid interference witheach channel.DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch has been designed to add an extrasurround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel. By using amatrix encoding/decoding method, an additional “surround back”channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and rightsurround channel signals.DTS 96/24In recent years, there has been increasing interest in highersampling rates both for recording and for reproducing at home.Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bitdepths provide extended dynamic range.DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver “better-than-CD sound quality” into the home.• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the and 96/24indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.
