Compatibility with the Home
Theater Formats
Dolby Digital, DTS Sound Decoders
These highly evolved multichannel sound formats are
the heart of home theater. They deliver realistic multi-
channel sound that can turn any living room into a
theater, reproducing all the sound effects of the original
movie. The VSX-C300/C300-S has the flexibility to
decode all these formats.
MPEG-2 Decoder
The MPEG-2 sound format is emerging as an important
medium to deliver multichannel soundtracks, especially
for music, and the VSX-C300/C300-S is fully equipped
to handle MPEG-2 format discs.
Dolby Pro Logic Decoder
This was the first multichannel sound format and many
videos and other media can still be found in Pro Logic.
The VSX-C300/C300-S reproduces this long-standing
format with excellent clarity. With it you can get
multichannel surround sound even from two channel
and Dolby Surround sources. In addition, you can use
this decoder with the 5-D Theater mode for a stronger
surround sound effect.
Home Theater Listening Modes
Custom Designed Listening Modes (p.30)
These modes enhance the sound of sources from movies
and music to TV and video games for a more dramatic
effect. These are each designed to accentuate specific
sound qualities, giving the listener a wide range of
possibilities.
Virtual Listening Mode (p.30)
This especially designed listening mode uses only two
channels but through sound imaging imitates a full
surround sound. It allows you to experience surround
sound with only two speakers.
Headphones Surround Mode (p.30)
This new headphone mode allows the user to get a
surround-like sound while listening on headphones
designed to accommodate this technology.
Midnight Listening Mode (p.32)
The Midnight listening mode allows you to obtain
excellent surround sound effects even when listening at
low volumes, something that was previously impossible.
Features
Quiet Mode (p.30)
The Quiet mode provides good sound by smoothing out
harsh noises in the soundtrack. This is achieved by
reducing the bass and treble.
Easy-to-use Remote Control
This new remote control is extremely convenient to use.
One button is dedicated to one task in the control of the
receiver, eliminating confusing buttons whose purpose
are unclear. In addition, this remote can be used to
operate a variety of other components simply by
recalling the appropriate setup codes.
Easy Setup for Quick Home Use
This receiver features an automatic setup function that
senses which speakers you have hooked up and
automatically sets the receiver for proper surround
sound. Thus, you can start enjoying home theater
immediately after hooking up your speakers and
components, without worrying about difficult setup
procedures.
The Energy-saving Design
This unit is designed to use less than 1 W of energy
when the receiver is in standby mode.
