Dsp Surround Simulation - Denon AVR-2803 Bedienungsanleitung

Surround parameters w
CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer):
The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for
overly-bright sounding motion picture soundtracks. Select this function if the sound from the front speakers
is too bright.
This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, DTS NEO:6 and WIDE SCREEN
modes. (The same contents are set for all operating modes.)
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud
sounds). For listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic
Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range).
(This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.) Select one of the four
parameters ("OFF", "LOW", "MID" (middle) or "HI" (high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect):
This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sounds included in the source when playing program
sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.
If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted due to the LFE signals when playing Dolby Digital
or DTS sources when the peak limiter is turned off with the subwoofer peak limit level setting (system setup
menu), adjust the level as necessary.
Program source and adjustment range:
1. Dolby Digital: –10 dB to 0 dB
2. DTS Surround: –10 dB to 0 dB
When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to
0 dB for correct DTS playback.
When DTS encoded music software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to
–10 dB for correct DTS playback.
TONE:
This adjusts the tone control. (See "Surround parameters e" on page 33.)
SB CH OUT:
(1) Dolby Digital/DTS source
"OFF" ......................Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker.
"NON MTRX" ..........Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker.
The same signals those of the surround channels are output from the surround back
channels.
"MTRX ON".............Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker.
Surround back channel is reproduced using digital matrix processing.
"NRML (OFF)".........Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker.
"NRML (ON)" ..........Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker.
Surround back channel is reproduced using digital matrix processing.
(2) Other source
"OFF" ......................Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker.
"ON"........................Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker.
NOTE: This operation can be performed directly using the "SURROUND BACK" button on the main unit's
panel.

DSP SURROUND SIMULATION

• The AVR-2803 is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal
processing to synthetically recreate the sound field. One of seven preset surround modes can be selected
according to the program source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the
listening room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound. These surround modes can also be used for
program sources not recorded in Dolby Surround Pro Logic or Dolby Digital.
Surround modes and their features
Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming
1 ROCK ARENA
from all directions.
This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode
2 JAZZ CLUB
gives jazz a very vivid realism.
MONO MOVIE
Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.
3
(NOTE 1)
4 VIDEO GAME Use this to enjoy video game sources.
Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo. Signals
consisting of the difference component of the input signals (the component that provides the
5 MATRIX
sense of expansion) processed for delay are output from the surround channel.
Select this mode to enjoy a virtual sound field, produced from the front 2-channel speakers.
6 VIRTUAL
In this mode, the signals of the front left channel are output from the left surround channel, the
signals of the front right channel are output from the right surround channel, and the same (in-
7 5CH/7CH STEREO phase) component of the left and right channels is output from the center channel. This mode
provides all speaker surround sound, but without directional steering effects, and works with any
stereo program source.
Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.
In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited
to your tastes.
NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to
one channel (left or right), so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only
one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a "Y" adaptor cable to split the mono output
to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.
Personal Memory Plus
This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes
and input modes selected for the input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set
for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.
The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output
channels are memorized for each surround mode.
