User manual DENON AVR-2801@AVR-981

[. . . ] No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. Unplug the power cord when not using the set for long periods of time. Do not let insecticides, benzene, and thinner come in contact with the set. [. . . ] Descriptions of the unit's operations are also displayed on the front panel display. In addition, the display can be switched to check the unit's operating status while playing a source by pressing the STATUS button. The pre-out output (including the speaker output) is automatically turned off when headphones are connected. NOTE: To prevent hearing loss, do not raise the volume level excessively when using headphones. IN jacks are output directly to the front (left and right), center, surround (left and right) speaker systems without passing through the surround circuitry. [4] Combining the currently playing sound with the desired image Simulcast playback Use this switch to monitor a video source other than the audio source. In play modes other than the external input mode, the signals connected to EXT. In addition, signals cannot be output from channels not connected to the input jacks. To watch video while listening to sound, select the input source to which the video signal is connected, then set this mode. IN), the play mode (DIRECT, STEREO, DOLBY/DTS SURROUND, 5CH/6CH STEREO or DSP SIMULATION) cannot be selected. Playing one source while recording another (REC OUT mode) With "RECOUT SOURCE" displayed, turn the FUNCTION knob to select the source you wish to record. To perform this operation from the remote control unit, check that the mode selector switch is set to "AUDIO". Dolby Digital mode (only with digital input) and DTS Surround (only with digital input) When performing this operation from the main unit's panel, press the SURROUND MODE button, then turn the SELECT knob and select Dolby Pro Logic or DTS NEO:6. Set to the desired level according to the speaker systems being used and the source to be played. To reset the settings to the factory defaults, use the display "Yes". This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processing to synthetically recreate the sound field. One of 7 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 or DTS. (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 and DTS Surround modes. (Dynamic Range Compression): Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). [. . . ] DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods, as described below. 1 channels (including the SB channel) are recorded independently using a digital discrete system. The main feature of this format is that because the SL, SR and SB channels are fully independent, the sound can be designed with total freedom and it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic images are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS-ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder the SB channel signals are automatically down-mixed to the SL and SR channels, so none of the signal components are lost.
