More Information
Details: The VSX-D608 is the only one in Pioneer's line to have DTS (Digital Theater Systems) surround. Whether the trickle of DTS CDs and DVDs ever grows to a flood remains to be seen, but the D608 also has a number of "advanced theater" modes absent from all other Pioneer receivers. They include musical, drama and action, all with nine levels of effects for the ultimate in digital signal processing (DSP), manipulation, fine-tuning and pathological tweaking. There is also a mode called Digital 5-D Theater. Other available modes include six DSP modes - jazz, dance, hall 1, hall 2, theater 1, theater 2 - and a "midnight listening mode, " which reduces the dynamic range of ballistic movie soundtracks to avoid disturbing the neighbors. Also present is Dolby 3 stereo, which adds the center channel to stereo mode. A Direct switch bypasses the tone and balance controls, which operate only in stereo. A feature unique to the D608 is DNR (digital noise reduction), which cleans up hiss in noisy audio signal sources.
