The AVR-1804/884 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same
sense of presence as in a movie theater.
Dolby Surround
(1) Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the multi-channel
digital signal format developed
by Dolby Laboratories.
Dolby Digital consists of up to "5.1 " channels - front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an additional channel exclusively
reserved for additional deep bass sound effects
(the Low Frequency Effects - LFE - channel, also called the ".1 " channel, containing bass
frequencies
of up to 120 Hz).
Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Dolby Digital's main channels can all contain full range sound information,
from the lowest bass, up
to the highest frequencies
- 22 kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging, and Dolby
Digital offers tremendous
dynamic range from the most powerful
sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion.

•_ 1 Please use a commercially
available adapter when connecting
the Dolby Digital RF output jack of the LD player to the digital input jack.
Please refer to the instruction
manual of the adapter when making connection.
-_ 2 Some DVD digital outputs have the function of switching
the Dolby Digital signal output method between
"bit stream" and "(convert to)
PCM". When playing in Dolby Digital surround on the AVR-1804/884, switch the DVD player's output mode to "bit stream".
In some cases
players are equipped with both "bit stream + PCM" and "PCM only" digital outputs.
In this case connect the "bit stream + PCM" jacks
to the AVR-1804/884.
(2) Dolby Pro Logic 1]
• Dolby Pro-Logic ]] is a new multi-channel
playback format developed
by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and
offering improvements
over conventional
Dolby Pro Logic circuits.
• Dolby Pro Logic ]] can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ("_ ) but also regular stereo sources into five channels
(front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound.
• Whereas with conventional
Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency
band was limited, Dolby Pro Logic ]] offers a wider
band range (20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater).
In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the
same) with previous Dolby Pro Logic, but Dolby Pro Logic ]] they are played as stereo signals.
• Various parameters
can be set according to the type of source and the contents,
so it is possible to achieve optimum decoding (see page
45).
Sources recorded in Dolby Surround
These are sources in which three or more channels of surround
have been recorded
as two channels of signals using Dolby Surround
encoding technology.
Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes
to be played on stereo VCRs, as well
as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV.
Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel
surround playback.
The signals can also be played
on ordinary stereo equipment,
in which case they provide normal stereo sound.
