TX-LR552 Receiver Features

96kHz/24-bit DACs: This receiver features linear 96kHz/24-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters.

Assignable Digital Inputs: The TX-LR552 has 3 assignable digital inputs (2 optical, 1 coaxial) allowing you to indicate what components are connected to which digital input jack.

Dolby Pro Logic II and IIx: Dolby Pro Logic II creates 5.1-channel surround from two-channel material. Dolby Pro Logic IIx goes one step further and creates 6.1-channel surround from two-channel material (except 96kHz PCM). If you have indicated the presence of a surround back speaker in the speaker configuration, you can select DPL IIx as a surround mode. If you have indicated there is no surround back speaker connected to the receiver, you can select DPL II. Dolby Pro Logic II and IIx each have movie, music and game modes.

Listening Modes: This receiver incorporates a wide variety of listening modes to bring you maximum enjoyment from your audio and video software. The listening modes include:

• Surround Modes:
  • Dolby Digital
  • Dolby Digital EX
  • Dolby Pro Logic II (Movie/Music/Game) (no Surround Back speaker)
  • Dolby Pro Logic IIx (Movie/Music/Game) (Surround Back speaker is present)
  • Neo:6 (Cinema/Music)
  • DTS
  • DTS 96/24
  • DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1/Matrix 6.1)
  • DTS + Neo:6
  • DTS + Dolby EX
• DSP Modes:
  • Orchestra
  • Unplugged
  • Studio-Mix
  • TV Logic
  • All Ch Stereo

Direct/Stereo Modes: These mode deliver pure sound with minimal sound quality adjustment and filtration. In Direct Mode, the sound recorded for the right and left front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only without subwoofer. In Stereo mode, the selected input source is processed as a stereo signal and is output by the front left and right speakers and the subwoofer.

DPL II or IIx Music Modes: While listening in the Dolby Pro Logic II or IIx Music format, there are three further enhancements you can enjoy:

• Panorama: This mode extends the front stereo image to the surround speakers to provide a "wraparound" effect. This mode is especially effective when there is limited output from the surround channels. Panorama can be turned on/off in the menu.
• Dimension: This mode allows you to move the soundfield forward or backward.
• Center Width: This mode allows you to move the center channel output totally to the center channel speaker or divided between left and right channels, creating a "phantom" center channel.

Center Image: In the DTS Neo:6 format, the Center Image feature adjusts the output of the left and right channels relative to the center channel, allowing you to make the center channel more or less dominant as needed. This improves the image of the center channel, especially when the listener is off-center.

Double Bass: This function boosts the bass by feeding bass sounds from the front left and right channels to the subwoofer. Double Bass works well with mono and 2-channel sources, including 96kHz PCM. Note: In Speaker Configuration, the subwoofer setting must be set to "Yes" and the Front speaker setting must be set to "large."

CinemaFILTER: This circuitry provides a subtle high-frequency rolloff for proper playback of soundtracks in the home. This feature provides the means to easily remove excess treble response from soundtracks that were originally equalized to sound best in a large theater. This function only works in the Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II & IIx Movie, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, DTS 96/24, DTS+Neo:6 and DTS+Dolby EX surround modes.

Late Night Feature: The Late Night feature limits the dynamic range of Dolby Digital recordings that have been encoded with dynamic range data. Limiting the dynamic range makes it easier to find a volume control setting that ensures the quiet sounds are not too quiet and the loud sounds are not too loud for night time listening. The choices are: "Off", "Low", and "High". Note: This feature only works with Dolby Digital Encoded software and the depth of the feature will vary based on the individual software package.

Bass Management: The speaker configuration settings are optimized for the supplied HTP-240X speaker system. If you choose to use other speakers, you will need to set up the receiver for the speakers being used. In the Setup menu, you can indicate whether or not a powered subwoofer is being used, the size of the main speakers, and the size and presence of center, surround and surround back speakers. You can also set the crossover frequency according to the size of the speakers and the presence of a subwoofer in the system.

AM/FM Tuner: The receiver's AM/FM tuner features Automatic (seek) and Manual tuning. In the Manual tuning mode, FM stations will be heard in Mono. You will need to switch to Automatic tuning mode to listen in stereo.

Sleep Timer: From the remote, you can set the unit to automatically turn off after a preset amount of time--10 minutes to 90 minutes in 10-minute increments.

Display Dimmer: The display illumination can be set to Dim, Dimmer, Dimmer + front panel indicators off, or Normal.

Multibrand Remote: The RC-577S remote is pre-programmed to operate this receiver, plus multiple brands of TVs and DVD players.

DV-CP702 DVD Player Features

Video D/A Converter: This player uses an advanced 54MHz/10-bit video digital-to-analog converter. This high-bit, high sampling D/A converter helps to reduce digital artifacts to give you a better picture.

Audio D/A Converter: This player features 192kHz/24-bit audio digital-to-analog converters.

Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC): The DV-CP702 uses Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry to remove stray pulse noise from the digital signal for a smoother, richer analog output signal.

"Direct Digital Path": "Direct Digital Path" signal routing provides a shorter, cleaner path from the signal processing PC board to the digital outputs than typically found on other players. This direct signal path routing is used to prevent corruption of the signal by noise from the ICs and power supply.

Progressive Scan Output: Progressive-scan video has less flicker and fewer motion artifacts than the traditional interlaced-scanning method, resulting in a superior picture. To take advantage of this feature, you must have a television with component video inputs that supports the progressive scanning mode. The component outputs on this unit can be set to pass either progressive or interlaced video.

MP3/WMA Playback: This unit will play MP3/WMA files recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW discs using the ISO 9660 level 2 format. The following files are supported: MP3 constant bit-rate files with a compression rate from 32-384 kbps, MP3 variable bit-rate files with a compression rate from 64-384 kbps, and WMA constant and variable bit-rate files with a compression rate from 16-192 kbps. This unit is not compatible with multi-session discs. If you try to play a multi-session disc, only the first session will be played. Each disc can have a maximum of  999 folders and 672 files per folder.

JPEG Disc Playback: This unit will play JPEG files recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW discs using the ISO 9660 level 2 format. Only baseline JPEG files with the following brightness/color difference ratios are supported: 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:1:1. Each file must be less than 5MB in size. All JPEG files on a disc can be played back individually or in a slide show. Each disc can have a maximum of  999 folders and 672 files per folder.

Chain Mode: With the Chain mode function you can consecutively play all discs, all DVD-Video discs and Video CDs, or all audio CDs and MP3/WMA discs as if they were one big disc.

Resume Function: The Resume function allows you to resume playback of a disc from the point where you last stopped. The stopping point is cleared when the Stop button is pressed more than once, another disc is selected, or the disc tray is opened.

Last Memory Function: If you want to begin playback at a certain point, but the power will be turned off or the DVD or Video CD will be removed from the player, use the Last Memory function to specify a starting point on the disc next time you play it. Points on up to 6 DVDs or VCDs can be stored in memory.

Digital Out Settings: You can specify in the Setup menu how the unit will output digital audio signals depending upon the capability of the connected equipment:

• Dolby Digital Out: You can choose to output Dolby Digital audio as it is (if your A/V component has a Dolby Digital decoder) or downmix it to 2-channel PCM.
• Linear PCM Out: You can choose to output digital audio at 96kHz (if your A/V component can accept the higher sampling rate) or downsample it to 48kHz. Note: In some cases, even if you select "downsample off," digital audio from some discs will automatically downsampled to 48kHz or may not be output from the digital output at all.
• MPEG Out: You can configure the unit to output MPEG digital audio as it is (if your A/V component has an MPEG decoder), or downmix it and output it as PCM digital audio.
