SURROUND MODE
The SR-12S1 is equipped with many surround modes. these are
provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according
to the content of the source to be played.
The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the
input signal and speaker setup.
AUTO
When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the
digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS,
DTS-ES, HDCD or PCM-audio.
Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multi channel source that has
a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES auto trigger flag in the digital
signal.
When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the number of channels
for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be played.
Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status
automatically subjects that signal to Pro Logic II movie processing
before play.
HDCD and PCM 96 KHz source material can be played in this mode.
Note:
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and LD players,
performing operations such as “Skip” or “Stop” may
momentarily interrupt the output.
S (SOURCE ) - DIRECT
In the source direct mode, the tone control circuit and bass
management configuration are bypassed for full range frequency
response and the purist audio reproduction.
HDCD or 96 KHz PCM source material can be play back in this mode.
Notes:
• Internal speaker size is setup to front L/R = Large, Center =
Large, Surround L/R = Large and Subwoofer = yes
automatically. Tone controls and additional processing are also
defeated.
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and LD players,
performing operations such as “Skip ” or “Stop ” may
momentarily interrupt the output.
THX CINEMA
THX Cinema mode applies additional processing to Dolby Digital,
DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic multi-channel, surround sources. The THX
processing was developed by Lucasfilm Ltd. to recreated the sound of
top-quality theater.
Use the THX Cinema mode for all movies on disc, tape or broadcast.
In this mode, THX Surround EX will not operate in this mode.
THX SURROUND EX
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with
Dolby Digital surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra
channel which has been added during the mixing of the program.
This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the
listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center,
front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed
imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious
ambience and sound localization than ever before.
THX Surround EX will operate for any 5.1 channel source whenever
THX is active.
THX Surround EX is not available in the system without surround back
speaker(s).
Notes:
• When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in
6.1 channels, it is required to set the THX Surround EX mode.
THX ULTRA2 CINEMA
THX Ultra2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakers
giving you the best possible movie watching experience. In this mode,
ASA processing blends the side surround speakers and back
surround speakers providing the optimal mix of ambient and
directional surround sounds.
This mode permits the playback of a non Surround EX/ES encoded
5.1 movie to be played back over a 7.1 system.
DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX
encoded soundtracks will be automatically detected, if the appropriate
flag has been encoded.
Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital
flag that allows automatic switching.
If you know that the movie that you are watching is encoded in
Surround EX, you can manually select the THX Surround EX playback
mode, otherwise THX Ultra2 Cinema mode will apply ASA processing
to provide optimum replay.
THX MUSIC
For the replay of multi-channel music the THX Music Mode should be
selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is applied to the surround
channels of all 5.1 encoded music sources such as DTS, and Dolby
Digital to provide a wide stable rear soundstage.
This mode is to be used with multi-channel music sources such as
DTS 5.1 music and Dolby Digital 5.1 music.
NOTES:
• These modes are only available when you have set up a 7.1
speaker system (i.e. two Surround Back speakers).
• These modes are only available when the input signal has
Surround Left and Surround Right contents.
DTS-CINEMA & DTS-MUSIC
This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER
DISC, CD, and DVD.
In the DTS Music mode, the LFE signal is reduced by 10 dB. With DTS
music material, you should select the DTS Music mode.
When playing DTS movie discs select DTS cinema mode for proper
reproduction of the LFE channel.
The DTS mode cannot use when an analog input has been selected.
When the signal in another digital format is input, output of SR-12S1
will be muted.
DTS-ES (DISCRETE 6.1, MATRIX 6.1)
Both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround
back channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the
acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more
natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction.
This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, which can handle DTS-
ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES Matrix-encoded program sources
from DVD, etc..
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels
including the surround back channels and higher quality of audio
reproduction.
DTS-ES is not available in the system without surround back
speaker(s).
DTS NEO: 6
This mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6-channel signals using
high-accuracy digital matrix technology.
The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the
frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel
separation.
According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either
the NEO:CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the
NEO:MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.
