Pure Audio (not North American models)

In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is turned off, no video signals are output in this mode.)

Direct

In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidel- ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are output as they are.

Stereo

Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.

Mono

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

•PLIIx Movie

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

•PLIIx Music

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).

•PLIIx Game

Use this mode with video games, especially those that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Dolby Digital

Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround- sound format, and it’ll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

Dolby Digital EX

DTS+Dolby EX

These modes expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-chan- nel playback. They’re especially suited to Dolby Digital EX soundtracks that include

a matrix-encoded surround back channel. The additional channel adds an extra dimension and provides an envel- oping surround sound experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects. Use them with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital or DTS logo.

Dolby Digital+PLIIx Music

DTS+PLIIx Music

These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Music mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play- back. Use them with Dolby Digital or

DTS 5.1 music sources (e.g., DVD and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts).

Dolby Digital+PLIIx Movie

DTS+PLIIx Movie

These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Movie mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS sources for 7.1-channel play- back. Use them with Dolby Digital and

DTS 5.1 movies (e.g., DVD and select digital TV broad- casts).

DTS

The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less com- pression for high-fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DTS 96/24

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a

96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

DTS-ES Discrete

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a discrete surround

back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio channels provide better spa- tial imaging and 360-degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.
