About the Listening Modes

With its surround-sound decoders and DSP modes, the AV receiver can transform your home listening room into a movie theater or concert hall.

The AV receiver’s surround indicators show which speakers are active in each listening mode.

Direct

In this mode, the input source is output as it is, with min- imal processing for a faithful sound. The bass and treble functions are bypassed.

Stereo

In this mode, the input source 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 to select the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources contain- ing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic II Movie

Use this mode with DVDs and vid- eos that bear the Dolby Surround

logo, or TV shows that feature Dolby Surround. You can also use it to create 5.1 surround from stereo movies and TV shows.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music

Use this mode to create 5.1 surround from stereo music sources, such as CDs and DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

If you’ve connected surround back speakers to the AV receiver, Dolby Pro Logic IIx can create 7.1 surround from stereo music or 5.1 movies. Dolby Pro Logic IIx offers a well defined, natural multichannel surround- sound experience, putting the listener in a seamless enve- lope of sound. The added drama and natural sound enhances the listening experience with music, movies, and games.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx has three modes of operation: Movie mode for watching movies, Music mode for listening to music, and Game mode for playing games on a games console with stereo outputs.

Dolby Digital

With Dolby Digital, you can experience Manual backgroundManual background the same thrilling sound that you get at a Manual backgroundManual backgroundManual backgroundManual backgroundManual backgroundManual backgroundManual background movie theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo.

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX includes a surround- back channel, for 6.1 surround. It offers a heightened sense of space, and added real-

ism with moving sounds, especially those that move

360 degrees or fly overhead. Dolby Digital EX can also be enjoyed on a 5.1 system, in which case the surround- back channel sound is split between the surround left and surround right speakers. Use this mode with DVDs that feature 5.1 and bear the Dolby Digital logo.

DTS

This format offers a surround sound experi- ence with exceptional fidelity. It offers six discrete channels for 5.1 surround, and uses less compression for a truly faithful sound.

You’ll need a DTS-capable DVD player to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DTS 96/24

This mode offers very high audio quality.

Use it with CDs and DVDs that bear the

DTS 96/24 logo.

DTS-ES Discrete

This is DTS with an added surround back channel for 6.1 surround. With the addi-

tional surround back channel, it offers seven independent digital channels, providing a real sense of movement and space. Use it with CDs and DVDs that feature DTS 6.1 and bear the DTS-ES logo.

DTS-ES Matrix

This is DTS with a surround back channel for 6.1 surround. Use it to create 6.1 sur-

round from DTS 5.1 material. Since DTS 5.1 material already contains surround back channel information, the back channel can be reconstructed for real 6.1 surround. Use this mode with CDs and DVDs that bear the DTS- ES.

Neo:6

This mode creates 6.1 surround from stereo sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels and excellent separa- tion. There are two modes of operation: Cinema mode for watching movies, and Music mode for listening to music.

Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement that you get with 6.1 surround. Use it with videos, DVDs, and TV shows that feature stereo sound.

Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a natural sound field, something that cannot be done with conventional stereo. Use it with stereo sources and music CDs.
