Note Surround modes 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 DTS Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers. 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 Center speaker 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 Subwoofer (SW)* DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.

What's DSP? DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor. The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places). The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.
