Auto-Format Detection, Listening with Memory

Dolby

Digital, DTS

, PCM Stereo? The D1 makes it easy. For any digital input it selects the

correct format automatically! Or take any 2-channel stereo source, analog or digital, and create

the listening experience you want—from Dolby

Pro Logic, Dolby

Pro Logic IIx, DTS

Neo:6,

THX

, to one of our own proprietary modes that provide up to 7.1 channels of sound:

•

AnthemLogic–Music

™

is a minimalist design that enhances the stereo listening experience

without detracting from the stereo soundstage. It automatically provides up to 6.1 channels

of output, depending on your speaker configuration. No delay effects are used, nor does it

use the center channel, thereby ensuring the integrity of the music’s stereo soundstage.

•

AnthemLogic–Cinema

™

provides a large, enveloping and dynamic movie listening experience

that makes 2-channel movies, TV and satellite sound more like what is experienced in a

full-impact movie theater. No delay effects are used. It automatically provides up to 7.1

channels of output, depending on your speaker configuration.

Surround listening never sounded so good! And to make it all easy to use, the D1 has three

automatic memory functions:

1. Presets: For each source you can set Mode Presets for each of the following formats:

2-Channel, Dolby

Digital 2.0, Dolby

Digital 5.1, DTS

5.1, Dolby

Digital EX

™

and DTS

ES. Whenever you select a source, its Mode Presets will be automatically recalled and

applied to the format of the material being played.

2. Last Used: For each source you can also set any Mode Preset to Last Used. The D1 will

then automatically remember the surround mode and THX

mode last chosen for each

source so that you won’t have to change modes as you change sources.

3. On-the-Fly Level Settings: The D1 also automatically remembers on-the-fly settings for

Speaker Level, Bass, Treble and Subwoofer Level and does so separately for Stereo and each

2-Channel or 5.1 Surround Mode, so you won’t have to change settings as the format

changes. (This does not apply to THX

which requires settings to be at “0” when THX

initially turned On. Adjustments can then be done afterwards.)

These unique memory functions are very useful in a number of ways. Here is a small example

of what you can do with the D1’s powerful Mode Preset capability by setting each source as

follows:

– CD: Preset the 2-Channel mode to AnthemLogic–Music

™

– VCR: Preset the 2-Channel mode to AnthemLogic–Cinema

™

– Satellite: Preset the 2-Channel mode to AnthemLogic–Cinema

™

and Dolby

Digital 5.1 to

THX

Ultra2

™

Cinema

– DVD: Preset Dolby

Digital 2.0 (when Surround-flagged) to Pro Logic IIx Movie, Dolby

Digital 5.1 and DTS

5.1 to THX

Ultra2

™

Cinema

– 6-Ch S/E: Preset 6-Channel to THX

MusicMode

Now sit back and relax; whenever you or anyone else in your family switches from source to

source, or program to program, each mode preset is automatically recalled. No more errors in

selecting the correct mode. Press CD and the mode will be AnthemLogic–Music

™

. Press VCR

and the mode will change to AnthemLogic–Cinema

™

. Switch to Satellite, stereo programs will

be heard in Anthem Logic–Cinema

™

, and when the format changes to Dolby

Digital 5.1, the

mode will automatically change to THX

Ultra2

™

Cinema. In the same way, DVD and 6-Channel

S/E will change to the mode presets you have set. If you would rather not use presets, the

remarkable D1 allows for that as well. Simply set the Mode Preset to Last Used and the last

mode chosen for each source will be remembered so that you won’t have to change modes

when you change sources.

Remembering On-the-Fly Level Settings is also very useful. For example, if you use a DVD

player for both music and movies you can set the subwoofer for a DVD 5.1 movie to +3.0 dB

for more bass impact, but for a stereo CD reduce it to -3.0 dB for a better music balance. You

may want to boost center channel treble for VCR movies playing in AnthemLogic–Cinema

™

but not for DVD 5.1 movies. Or, you may want different surround or rear levels for a Dolby

Digital EX

™

DVD vs. a Satellite movie in AnthemLogic–Cinema

™

. The D1 automatically remem-

bers individual level settings for each mode so you don’t have to adjust them every time the

format changes. Finally, to allow for LFE differences with DVD 5.1 formats, the D1 even

remembers LFE levels for Dolby

Digital and DTS

independently.

With its powerful memory capability it has never been easier to enjoy the exceptional multi-

channel music and home theater sound that the D1 provides.

Selectable Audio-In Formats

The remarkable D1 offers four Audio-In Format options for each Main-Path Source (as applicable):

1. Digital

The mandatory choice for any component where Dolby

Digital or DTS

decoding is

required (i.e. DVD-Video). Set CD to Digital and upgrade the performance of your CD player

by connecting its digital output to the D1, thereby using the D1’s superior high-end DACs

(digital-to-analog converters).

2. Analog-Direct (Bypasses A/D’s, DSP and D/A's)

Analog-Direct provides a purist audiophile input that bypasses Bass Management, Bass/Treble

Controls and Mode Selections.

3. Analog-DSP (Enables A/D’s, DSP and D/A's)

Analog-DSP provides true high-end sound while engaging all Bass Management, Bass/Treble

controls and Mode selections.

4. Auto-Digital (Enables A/D’s, DSP and D/A's)

The D1 automatically switches between Digital and Analog-DSP. This feature is especially

useful with cable boxes where some channels are broadcast digitally, while others are broad-

cast in analog. As you change channels, the D1 automatically switches to the input required.
