16 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 (EX), Dolby Pro Logic, DTS (ES), 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.
Surround back speakers The THX Surround EX format adds new “Surround Back” (SB) channels to the conventional 5.1-channel system. 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.
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. For THX Surround EX systems (using surround back speakers) (1) Basic setting for primarily watching movies This is recommended when mainly playing movies and using regular single way or 2-way speakers for the surround speakers.
(3) When using different surround speakers for movies and music To achieve more effective surround sound for both movies and music, use different sets of surround speakers and different surround modes for the two types of sources.
Surround The AVR-5800 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 Surround AC-3) Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital consists of up to “5.
(2) Dolby Pro Logic Dolby Pro Logic is a multi-channel signal playback system developed by Dolby Laboratories which decodes sources recorded in Dolby Surround into four channels: front left, center, front right and surround (the surround channel is monaural, but is played through two surround speakers). Here, “sources recorded in Dolby Surround” are sources on which surround signals (three channels or more) are recorded onto two channels using Dolby Surround encoding technology.
DTS-ES Extended Surround TM 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.
Home THX Cinema surround mode THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’ personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home theater, as faithful as possible to what the director intended.
