CHAPTER 5
DTS DIGITAL SURROUND
This mode is available if the
TGR-401 automatically detects
that a DTS en cod ed source
is present at one of it’s digital
inputs. Look for the DTS Logo on
DVDs, LaserDiscs, CDs and other
sources.
Make sure that you set your
player to output DTS bitstreams.
DTS must also be selected on the
disc's menu.
NOTE: Besides DTS Digital Sur-
round, you can press the Mode
keys on the remote or use the
Mode selector on the front panel
and play DTS Digital Surround
with Pro Logic IIx Music process-
ing to create stereo surround
back channels. Pressing either
Mode key again will return you to
standard DTS Digital Surround
playback.
DTS-ES MATRIX/DISCRETE
All DTS-ES sources have the
surround back channel matrixed
in the left and right surrounds.
Newer DVD releases also have a
discrete surround back channel, in
addition to the same information
matrixed.
DISCRETE ES sources: the TGR-
401 DTS-ES discrete decoder
will decode the discrete surround
back channel. It also removes the
surround back matrix from the left
and right surrounds, and restores
them to be fully independent
channels.
MATRIX ES sources: If there is
no discrete surround back chan-
nel, the TGR-401 decodes the
matrixed surround back channel
from the left and right surrounds,
and restores them to be fully inde-
pendent channels.
DTS NEO:6
This matrixed mode extend DTS
Digital Surround to support sur-
round back channels, similar
to how PLIIX modes work for
Dolby 5.1. The back channels are
derived from the left and right sur-
rounds.
DTS SUNFIRE
This is a special mode that copies
the surround channels into the
back speakers. This provides
a more enveloping experience
for playback of DTS 5.1 digital
sources – especially music and
concert material.
DTS 96/24 modes
The DTS 96/24 modes allow
the decoding of multi-channel,
96 kHz, 24-bit, digital audio. The
various DTS 96/24 modes share
the same features as described
for the standard DTS modes.

DOLBY HEADPHONE
Dolby Headphone technology
enables you to experience the
surround effects of a ¿ ve-chan-
nel, six-channel, or seven-channel
soundtrack through your head-
phones.
Since headphones directly project
sound into the ear, many of the
spatial cues that exist when using
speakers are lost. This can result
in the audio sounding like it is in-
side your head, versus surround-
ing you. Dolby Headphone uses
DSP technology to simulate up to
seven surround speakers around
the virtual room for a much more
enveloping experience.
Dolby Headphone can be turned
on or off in the MODES menu. Try
turning it on for different sources
and listen for the improved sense
of surrounding sound. It will sound
best for multichannel sources, and
can be used to good effect for 2
channel music. Turn it off where
the effect is not required.
