DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding
and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).
When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the
indicator lights up on the display.
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround (DTS SURROUND) is another discrete
5.1-channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD
software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid, and clear sound.
Another multi-channel digital encoding format introduced by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space
expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back
channel.
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal
recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix
6.1ch.
You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing
back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround
effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back
speakers.
DTS 96/24
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling
rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher
sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths
provide extended dynamic range.
DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24
bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver “better-
than-CD sound quality” into the home.
When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the
indicator
lights up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.
What is Linear PCM?
Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs and Video
CDs.
DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at
quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video
CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.
When Linear PCM signal is detected, the
indicator lights up.
What is Dual Mono?
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)
format used for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format
is not identical with those analog formats).
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It
allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub-
channel) to be recorded separately.
When Dual Mono signal is detected, the
indicator
lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to
(see page 19).
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.
If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to “NONE”
in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are
allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.
If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to
“NONE” in the speaker setting, JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC
processing (which has been developed to create the surround
effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC
indicator lights up on the display.
3D Headphone Mode—3D H PHONE
If you activate Surround when the front speakers are deactivated,
3D Headphone Mode is activated without respect to the type of
software played back. “3D H PHONE” appears on the display
and the DSP and H.PHONE indicators also light up.
