Input Setup

THX

This mode is for playing back sources using THX.

For excellent fidelity when playing back THX sounds, it is recommended to use a THX-certified speaker system.

•THX Cinema

This is the conventional 5.1-channel THX format. This mode should be used only when playing back sources that were mixed for playback in large movie theater environments.

•THX Surround EX

“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.

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.

In order to enjoy the full effects of the THX Surround EX technology at home, you must be using a receiver or controller with the appropriate certification logo and the receiver must be set to the THX Surround EX mode. This unit can play the 5.1 ch program in THX surround EX mode, even if the program is not encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX format. For this kind of program, the sound from surround back channels depends on a program and may not fit to your taste.

•THX Ultra2 Cinema

When performing 7.1 ch playback of Dolby Digital, DTS, or other 5.1 ch movie sources, the surround components are analyzed and used to create surround back channels for the optimum ambient and directional surround sound. This provides a wider sound space to the sides and rear and a heightened feeling of the sound positioning.

•THX MusicMode

This is a new mode provided with THX Ultra2 and meant for the playback of music software sources. 5.1 ch multi-channel music sources are converted to 7.1 ch playback with a virtual rear sound from the surround speakers and surround back speakers. The rear sound space is created with the consistency and spaciousness optimum for music playback.

Pro LogicⅡ

Previous Dolby Pro Logic records the 4 channel signals (left and right front, center, monaural surround) into 2 channels using matrix encoding and, in playback, decodes the 2 channel signal into 4 channels. However, Dolby Pro LogicⅡuse the feedback logic circuits to decode matrix-encoded 2 channel signal (e.g. Dolby Surround) more precisely into original channels for 5.1 ch playback.

In Pro LogicⅡ, you can choose the Movie mode for playing movies and the Music mode for playing music.

•Pro LogicⅡMovie

In this mode, conventional narrow band monaural surround channel is played as stereo with a realistic feel of movement.

•Pro LogicⅡMusic

In this mode, surround channels will produce natural sound space from 2 channel music.

The Movie mode can be used for playing the VHS or

DVD video with mark or certain TV programs. The Music mode can be used for playing music in stereo from CD and other sources.

DTS Neo:6

This mode is for 6.1 channel playback of 2 channel sources such as PCM or analog sources. All 6 channel outputs are wide frequency range with a great separation between the different channels.

This mode can be set to the Cinema mode designed for playing movies and the Music mode designed for listening to music.

•DTS Neo:6 Cinema

This mode is good for movies. Reproduced surround sound makes realistic feel of movement as 6.1 channel sources. This mode can be used with VHS and television programs with stereo sound.

•DTS Neo:6 Music

This mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural sound space that cannot be provided with normal stereo output. This mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo sources.

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the center-channel sound processed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie theater.

Enhanced 7

Enhanced 7 intends to reproduce a natural surround environment by using 7-channel speakers. The sound effects moving smoothly toward the surround back. This mode is good for music and TV sports programs.

Orchestra

This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is created in large halls.

Unplugged

This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of being in a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of the conversation.

All Ch Stereo

This mode is designed for playing background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.
