Wouldn't it be great to be able to crank up your home cinema system without bothering your neighbours? Well, now the performance of the AV192 will allow you to do that:

Dolby Headphone is a revolutionary signal-processing system that can take up to five channels of audio from any source and make it almost sound like it's coming from that many speakers in a real listening room. The ‘in your head' effect of regular headphone listening is replaced by a spacious, natural soundfield.
The following is courtesy Dolby’s website (www.dolby.com).

Dolby Headphone's powerful signal-processing algorithm generates a host of audio cues modelled from real life, from which our ears and brain derive a three-dimensional sound image. When you listen to a 5.1 sources you hear the sound of five speakers: three in front of you, and a surround speaker to each side. When you listen to stereo material, you hear the sound of two speakers not at your ears, but out in front of you.

Because of the way Dolby Headphone Technology works and the power of its signal processing, Dolby Headphone technology can model the sound of a playback system in up to three different listening environments, based on acoustic measurements of real rooms:

DH1 is a small, well-damped room appropriate for both movies and music-only recordings. It is the Dolby Headphone "Reference Room".

DH2 is a more acoustically live (or "wet") room particularly suited to music listening, but also great for movies.

DH3 is a larger room, more like a concert hall or movie theater.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx 음장 모드 지원

AV192R에는 돌비프로로직 2X가 장착이 되어 있습니다. 이미 프로로직2 음장모드는 멀티체널에서 최고의 음장모드적 성능을 지니고 있으며 이것을 발전하여 프로로직2X 음장모드가 업그레이드 탄생하였고 AV192R에는 장착되어 있습니다.
7.1체널에 가장이상적인 돌비 프로로젝 모드로 최상의 음질을 재공할것 입니다.

processors leaving the factory after 1st September 2003 will include a voucher to upgrade the AV192R free of charge or have Pro Logic IIx already installed.

Pro Logic II, already one of the best processing modes to produce multi-channel sound from stereo sources, has just got even better!

Pro Logic IIx takes Pro Logic II processing into the 7.1 arena, taking full advantage of the back channels that are becoming part of many advanced Home Cinema installations.

5.1 Set-ups also benefit, as Dolby’s designers decided to fine-tune Pro Logic IIx to improve sound quality for 5.1 home cinema installations too..

Finally for all ‘gamers’, be it 5.1 or 7.1, the new sound format Pro Logic IIx Game is added which can make gaming even more realistic. Pro Logic II is praised for its natural sound, avoiding the artificiality that can blight some attempts to generate multi-channel presentations from stereo sources. This is due in part to the newly developed approach in steering logic design, which affords unprecedented smoothness and precise dynamic behaviour. Another factor is the lack of signal coloration achieved by employing the simplest audio path, with as little filtering of the audio as possible.

Pro Logic IIx allows the already highly sophisticated Pro Logic II algorithms to process native stereo and 5.1-channel content to produce 6.1 or 7.1 output channels.

Pro Logic IIx is a combination of the acclaimed Pro Logic II processing and Dolby? Digital Surround EX™, with a few extra wrinkles thrown in for best sound quality - be it 5.1, 6.1 or even 7.1.

Pro Logic IIx processing can be applied to all two channel sources, plus Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1 and even material encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES Matrix.

All the current features of Pro Logic II are retained, including the Centre Width control and the Panorama mode. The Centre Width control is ideal for reducing the “hard Centre channel” phenomenon that sometimes results from Centre signal steering of stereo encoded soundtracks, whilst the Panorama mode creates an even more enveloping front surround field.

Music mode and Movie mode.

As with Pro Logic II, there are Music and Movie modes in Pro Logic IIx.

Surround programs are primarily movie based. Even TV dramas are essentially mixed like movies. When programs are mixed in surround, they are monitored through the surround decoder that will be used for playback in the cinema or home. Movie mode is the reference decoder mode for any such surround-encoded program.

Music, on the other hand, is commonly mixed for stereo playback, and no surround monitoring is done by the mixer. When played back through a surround decoder, the results may not always be optimal. This is because a movie-type decoder is expecting a signal that has been deliberately surround encoded. Music mode brings the benefits of a highly natural and balanced multichannel surround sound field to content that was not specifically encoded for surround playback.

Speaker configuration

Speaker types and configurations for a 7.1 system have prompted much discussion. At TAG McLaren we have found that using direct radiators all around gives excellent results, though using bipolar speakers for the Surround channels can be highly beneficial if they are close to the audience.

Dolby suggest the layout shown above, and have themselves found that direct radiators often provide maximum clarity and detail and recommend their use.

Game Mode

Pro Logic IIx adds a special “Game Mode”, allowing those who use their Home Cinema systems to enjoy video games to get an even better gaming experience. The Game mode is specially tuned to ensure that the full bass impact from surround effects in a game are delivered to the subwoofer - explosions shake the room like never before!

XLR Balanced Outputs

TAV192R 은 RCA 7.1채널 이외에 XLR 발란스 출력을 옵션으로 지원하고 있으며 이 XLR 출력은 기본의 RCA출력에 비하여 안정적이며 뛰어난 고품위 음질을 선사 할것 입니다.

The AV192R can be - at any time - upgraded to provide ‘7.1' balanced XLR outputs.

These are in addition to the standard ‘7.1' single-ended outputs. Both single-ended and balanced outputs can be used at the same time and have been calibrated to offer identical amplification, making them also well suited for bi-amplification set-ups.

Why should I add this option?

It is possible for a current to flow between the ground connections of the AV192R and its connected power amplifiers, caused by electro-magnetic interference or ground potential differences. With a single-ended connection this current is indistinguishable from the signal and hence can become audible as a hum or buzz. The problem is usually referred to as ground loops and can be overcome by using this XLR Balanced Output option.

This option is recommended for those who experience ground loop problems or those who want to achieve the best signal to noise ratio possible!

A major advantage of balanced interconnection is the complete suppression of ground-loop problems. Balanced inputs use three conductors, one for the ground and two for the balanced signal.

The balanced input at the amplifier does not respond to the voltage between the input signals and ground, which could be altered by a ground loop, but to the voltage difference between the two conductors carrying the signal.

RGBS/Component Switcher

TAV192R에는 컴퍼넌트 영상및 RGB영상 입출력이 가능하며 이것을 이용하여 스위처 기능이 가능하다. 컴퍼넌트/RGB 4개의 입력과 1개의 영상 출력으로 구성되어 있다. 또한 OSD 영상이 컴퍼넌트나 RGB 영상출력으로 같이 제공되여 화면을 보면서 프로세서의 세팅이 가능하다.

The AV192R can be equipped with a 4 to 1 RGBS video switcher. This allows the switching of up to four RGBS/component video sources of up to approx. 200 MHz to a common video output, usually the display device.

The AV192R offers full support of RGBS, i.e. RGB with separate Sync, which is very common in Europe (SCART1). It works equally well with YPbPr, common in the USA.

Two of the input sets use digital RCA, the most common connector found on DVD players and other video sources today. For added performance the third set has been assembled with 75 Ohm BNC connectors providing true impedance matching, essential for high frequency signals.

In addition, the RGB Input Switcher includes an HDTV (HD15) input which can also be routed to the output.

All video signals can be passed through the optional Progressive Scan Module PSM192 and Video Scaler VSM2048, then offering YPbPr, RGsB or RGBHV video output formats.

OSD on RGBS/Component

AV192R equipped with the Progressive Scan Module PSM192 can generate on-screen text on the RGBS/Component Switcher and PSM192 DVI outputs.

SCART to RCA/BNC cables are readily available

FM Radio

AV192R에 FM 라디오 옵션을 장착할경우 고품위 라디오감상이 가능하다.

TAG McLaren’s radio technology, analog or DAB digital radio, is well regarded: in actual fact, some consider our T32R to be the world’s best radio!

The AV192R's FM radio is based on the encapsulated module first used in our hi-performance system Aphrodite. This module has been derived from the T32R FM circuitry, but has been voiced by our Golden Ears to be slightly ‘more forgiving’ if a station doesn’t broadcast the ultimate signal quality. A wise decision, in our opinion, if you listen to more than just BBC Radio 3.

The AV192R’s FM radio offers excellent FM reception and is, for added flexibility, equipped with two, electrically identical, FM antenna inputs. This allows, for example, connection to a conventional outdoor FM antenna and an FM cable distribution system.

RDS functionality and station memories make tuning and station selection very easy.

Station name and scrolling radio text can be displayed on the AV192R's front panel or on-screen display.

Combined with the Standby / Wakeup Timer, included with all AV192R, the FM radio becomes the ultimate clock radio!

AC3-RF Demodulator Hardware Option

AV192R에 AC-3 디코더 장착으로 레이저 디스크등의 AC-3 5.1체널등의 디지털 신호의 입력이 가능하다. 단 DVD등의 돌비디지털 이나 DTS등의 신형음장만 사용할것이라면 굳이 필요 없다.

This option adds the ability to retrieve Dolby Digital sound from Laser Disks. There are few NTSC Laserdiscs produced in this format. This upgrade is not required for Dolby Digital recorded on DVD.

HDCD? Software Option

고음질의 CD인 HDCD 디지털 디코더 옵션으로 인터넷이나 기본옵션등으로 제공한다. HDCD란 일반CD에 비해 고품질로 녹음된 CD로 AV32R등과 같이 소프트웨어를 사용한다.

Using HDCD1, a recording engineer can record the music at a higher resolution than on a standard CD. HDCD-encoded CDs have 20-bit resolution compared with the 16-bit for ordinary CDs. This gives a greater dynamic range, a more focussed, spatial image and a more musical timbre. The HDCD software option is available for all versions of the AV30R.

TAG McLaren Room EQualisation - TMREQ

AV192R에 제공되는 자동음장및 인스톨레이션 이큐레애션 프로그렘이 제공된다 이 프로그렘은 컴퓨터와 연결하여 최적의 룸튜닝및 스피커 추파수특성 파워앰프및 기기들의 특성에따른 최적의 세팅을 가능하도록 해주며 8채널의 96kHz/24-bit 오디오 소리출력으로 최상의 사운드 설치를 가능하게 만들어준다.

is a comprehensive, 8-channel, 96kHz/24-bit audio equalisation package that allows you to compensate for the detrimental influences of room acoustics and loudspeaker response, producing a sound field that is far more natural and faithful to the original production.

The sound you hear from your Home Cinema system is a combination of the direct sound from the loudspeakers’ drive units, reflections of the loudspeakers’ output from the walls, floor, ceiling and furniture of the room, acoustic resonances of the room and resonances in the loudspeakers’ cabinets, both direct and reflected. As a result of all these contributions to the sound, what arrives at your ears is very different from the waveform that is sent to the loudspeakers.

Here is the in-room response of a loudspeaker showing variations of more than 10dB, despite having an almost perfectly flat response when placed in an anechoic test chamber. The flat response is gone, the room is interacting with the sound.

Equalisation allows us to correct many of these distortions and get much closer to the sound that was recorded. The main role of equalisation is to attenuate areas where there are room induced peaks in the response, which has the added benefit that loudspeakers and amplifiers will not have to work as hard at these frequencies, reducing distortion

MPEG-2 Software Option

MPEG-2 소프트웨어 업그레이드 옵션으로 컴퓨터를 위한 업그레이드 또는 기본 장착이 되있다.

Some might remember that MPEG-2 was once destined to become the only sound format for European DVDs, with Dolby Digital being limited to other parts of the world. Fortunately, this decision was quickly overruled by market forces. In actual fact, very, very few MPEG-2 encoded DVDs ever made it into the shops.

Nevertheless, if you own one of these rarities, then this option is for you.
