Surround modes
Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of
digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as
Laserdisc or DVD software marked
). Compared with previous
Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality,
greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
Note
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left
and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital
surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby
Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.
* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-
directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass
sound effects.
Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low
frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep bass
performance in the other surround modes.
The indication LFE appears in the display when a signal is being input
for this channel.

DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS is a strictly digital format and can not be decoded inside
most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen to
DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD
or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This noise
can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a high
power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the digital
output as described below should be taken to avoid this situation. To
enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS
Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a built-in DTS
Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital output (S/P
DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.
* Optional in this mode.
* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate
non-directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic
deep bass sound effects.
DTS has a .1 or LFE channel.
The indication LFE appears in the display when a signal is
being input for this channel.

surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available
Dolby Surround home video software. Surround signal is monaural.
