AUTO
When this mode is selected, the unit determines
whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby
Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 or
PCM-audio.
Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multichannel
source that has a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-
ES auto trigger fl ag 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 x movie processing before play.
PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this
mode.
Notes:
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD
players, performing operations such as “Skip” or
“Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.
• When the signal is not decoded, the mode is changed
to AUTO mode automatically. Refer to page 35 to
confi rm the available decoding mode.
SOURCE DIRECT
In the Source Direct mode, the tone control circuit
and bass management confi guration are bypassed
for full-range frequency response and the purist
audio reproduction.
Notes:
• Speaker size is set to Front L/R = LARGE, Center =
LARGE, Surround L/R = LARGE and Subwoofer
= YES automatically. Tone controls, equalizer and
additional processing are deactivated.
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD
players, performing operations such as skip or stop
may momentarily interrupt the output.
PURE DIRECT
The Pure Direct mode further reduces sources of
noise in addition to effect of the Source Direct mode,
by blocking output from the video jacks (VIDEO,
S-VIDEO, COMPONENT VIDEO and HDMI) and
turning the FL display off.
EX/ES
This mode provides 6.1 channel surround for DOLBY
DIGITAL EX, DTS-ES encoded source material such
as DVD.
This mode cannot be used when an analog input has
been selected.
Dolby Digital EX
In a movie theater, fi lm 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.
Dolby Digital EX is not available in the system without
surround back speaker(s).
DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)
DTS-ES adds 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 unit 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
channel(s) and higher quality of audio reproduction.
DTS-ES is not available in the system without a
surround back speaker.
2 MODE
(Dolby Digital, Pro Logic II x MOVIE, Pro Logic II x
MUSIC, Pro Logic II x GAME, Pro Logic)
This mode is used with source materials encoded in
Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.
DOLBY DIGITAL
This mode is enabled when playing source materials
encoded in Dolby Digital.
Playing multichannel encoded 6.1 or 7.1-channel
Dolby Digital sources provides five main audio
channels (left, center, right, surround left and
surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel.
Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this
mode.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx brings the excitement of surround
sound to any stereo mix, while making existing
Dolby Surround mixes sound more like discrete 5.1
channels Surround sound.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx has 3 modes. Please see below.
Pro Logic
II
x MOVIE
This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround
sound from Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie
sound tracks.
Pro Logic
II
x MUSIC
This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround
sound from conventional stereo sources, analog or
digital, such as CD, Tape, FM, TV, Stereo VCR, etc.
Pro Logic
II
x GAME
Game mode restores the impact low-frequency
surround effects by routing them to the system’s
subwoofer.
Pro Logic
This mode emulated original Dolby Pro Logic
decoding (3/1 surround) suit for Dolby Surround
encoded stereo movie soundtracks.
Notes:
• Pro Logic IIx mode will decode as Pro Logic II
mode when the SURROUND BACK SPEAKER
is set NONE in SPEAKER SETUP menu. (See
SPEAKER SETUP, page 27)
• Pro Logic IIx mode is available for a 2ch input signal
which is encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM format.
• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic
processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
dts MODE
(dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music)
This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such
as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD. Neo:6 is for some 2
channel sources.
dts : This mode is enabled when playing source
materials encoded in dts multichannel.
Playing multichannel encoded 5.1-channel dts
sources provides five main audio channels (left,
center, right, surround left and surround right) and
Low Frequency Effect channel.
dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode.
The DTS mode cannot be used when an analog
input has been selected.
Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music
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:6 CINEMA mode
optimized for movie playback or the NEO:6 MUSIC
mode optimized for music playback.
Notes:
•
Neo:6 mode is available to 2ch input signals which
are encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM Analog
format.
• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Neo:6
processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
