DTS-HD speaker re-map
As there is no "ofcial" speaker layout for discrete 7.1 channel audio it
could be possible that the original master track of a 7.1 soundtrack was
mastered with a different speaker layout than the one being used in your
home. DTS have addressed this issue for DTS-HD Master Audio and High
Resolution Audio by including in the bitstream ags to tell the receiving
AV Receiver which of a 7 nominal 7.1 speaker layouts was actually used.
By using special DTS Speaker Remap algorithms the 751R V2 is able to
electronically "reposition" the speakers (i.e. direct the audio propagation), so
that the playback matches the original encoded layout for the best possible
sound quality.
A second aim of this technology is that by re-purposing some of the 7.1
available channels it is possible to use some of them to do new things such
as adding a height element to the sound eld.
The following digrams show the 7 possible encoding schemes for reference.
The angles quoted refer to the angle from a nominal 0 degrees line through
the centre channel to each speaker either side right or left of that line.
Congurations 1 and 5 are variants of normal 7.1 setups whilst Conguration
6 can increase the available panning of the front channels.
Congurations 2, 3, 4 and 7 are less conventional and re-purpose some of
the available 7.1 channels to provide an extra height dimension to the sound
eld in different ways. Conguration 4 is the one the 751R V2 expects if you
choose to use a 5.1 + Height speaker setup. Please refer to the DTS website
for more details on this new technology.

To turn off Zone 2 simple press Zone 2 followed by the Standby/Off button
again.
To select Tuner in Zone 2, press Zone 2 followed by the Tuner button.
Do this again to switch from AM to FM or vice versa.
To select other sources in Zone 2 press Zone 2 followed by the desired
source button.
To select the same source as the main room's, press Follow Main.
To change the volume is Zone 2 press Zone 2 followed by the volume up or
down buttons (or volume knob).
To mute Zone 2 press Zone 2 followed by the Mute button.
You can also use the Zone 2 handset in the main room to control Zone 2.
In this case all the remote commands automatically control Zone 2, simply
point the Zone 2 handset at the main unit and use the Standby/On or source
buttons to always control Zone 2 operation.
Note: The Zone 2 handset has a couple of special features.
Using the
or preset up down buttons for the Tuner will always
automatically put the tuner into Preset mode (as opposed to Manual or
Automatic modes).
Note: The Tuner will also only scroll through Presets that have actually been
set.
The Zone 2 remote has a Follow Main function. This forces Zone 2 to follow
the same source selection as the main zone. This can be useful in that Zone
2 can now receive any audio type including digital or HDMI audio that is
being decoded for the main zone. The Zone 2 outputs are created from Left
+ Centre and Right + Centre so that centre channel dialogue can be heard
in Zone 2.
It is also possible to control Zone 2 via the On Screen Display.
From the main OSD screen select the Rec.2/Zone 2 Output Select menu and
then select the Zone 2 menu item.

Controlling Zone 2 from Zone 2 itself
As previously described you will need an IR repeater system in order to do
this.
This allows commands received in Zone 2 to be relayed back to the Zone 2
IR Emitter Input on the back of the unit.
Via such a repeater you can use both the main and Zone 2 handsets in Zone
2. For both handsets all commands received will automatically affect Zone 2.
I.e. for the main zone handset when used in this way in Zone 2 you do not
need to press Zone 2 followed by another command. Simply select a source
or mute etc. and the unit will automatically do that function in Zone 2.
