MODE

FEATURES

Dolby Digital

Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency

 

effects channel.

 

 

Dolby Digital EX

Available when the receiver is configured for 6.1/7.1 channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is the latest version of Dolby Digital. When used with movies or other

 

programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1/7.1 sound field is available. When the receiver is

 

set for 6.1/7.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is present, the EX mode is automatically selected. Even if specific EX encoding is not available to provide the

 

additional channel, the special algorithms will derive a 6.1/7.1 output.

 

 

DTS 5.1

When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is available when DVD, audio-only music or laser discs encoded

 

with DTS data are played. DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency channel.

 

 

DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix

When the speaker configuration is set for 6.1/7.1 operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program source will automatically trigger the selection of one of the two

DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete

DTS-ES modes. Newer discs with special DTS-ES discrete encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth channels plus a separate low-frequency

 

channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrix mode, which creates a 6.1-channel sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.

 

 

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II decodes full-range, discrete, left, center right, right surround and left surround channels from either matrix surround-encoded

Movie

programs or conventional stereo sources when an analog input is in use. The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks,

Music

while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with musical selections. The Pro Logic mode re-creates original Pro Logic processing for

Pro Logic

those who prefer that presentation.

 

 

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is the latest extension of Dolby Pro Logic II technology which creates a discrete 6.1 and 7.1 sound field from matrix surround or two-channel

Music

stereo sources in systems configured for surround back speakers. Both Movie and Music versions of Pro Logic IIx are available. These modes may also be applied

Movie

to a six-channel source connected to the 8-Channel Direct Inputs fi so that the sound field is enhanced by adding surround back channels, as well as to enable

 

the MAIN DOWNMIX option in the multiroom system so that a six-channel direct input may be used as a source for the remote room.

 

 

Logic 7 Cinema

Exclusive to Harman Kardon for receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs

Logic 7 Music

or conventional stereo material. When your system has been configured for use with surround back speakers (see page 25), you may choose either 7.1 or

Logic 7 Enhance

5.1 versions of the Logic 7 modes, while only the 5.1 versions are available when there are no surround back speakers. The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode

 

should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers increased center channel intelligibility, and more accurate

 

placement of sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques. The Logic 7 M or Music mode should be

 

used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both of

 

these Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance)

 

mode, available only when the 5.1 option is chosen, is an extension of the other Logic 7 modes and is primarily used with musical programs. Logic 7 E adds

 

additional bass enhancement, circulating low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that

 

appears broader and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.

 

 

DTS Neo:6 Cinema

These two modes are available with analog sources playing to create a three-channel, five-channel or six-channel surround presentation from matrix-encoded

DTS Neo:6 Music

or stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of Neo:6 when a program with matrix surround encoding is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6

 

for optimal processing when a nonencoded, two-channel stereo program is being played.

 

 

Theater

The Theater mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a standard live performance theater.

 

 

Hall 1, Hall 2

The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small- (Hall 1) or medium-sized (Hall 2) concert hall.

 

 

VMAx Near

When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, VMAx delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of “phantom speakers” at the center

VMAx Far

and surround positions. The VMAx N, or “Near Field” mode should be selected when your listening position is less than five feet from the speakers. The VMAx F, or

 

“Far Field,” mode should be selected when your listening position is greater than five feet from the speakers.

 

 

Dolby Virtual Speaker

Dolby Virtual Speaker uses advanced technology to simulate the sonic signature of a speaker location even when there is no speaker physically present in that

Reference

location. The Reference (“REF”) mode activates the front left/right or front left/center/right speakers to simulate a 5.1 presentation with accurate localization.

Wide

The Wide mode virtualizes additional front-channel speakers to create a wider image and a more enveloping sound field. It is available no matter how many

 

speakers are present.

 

 

5-Channel Stereo

These modes take advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room. They place the same signal at the front-left and

7-Channel Stereo

surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.

 

 

Surround

This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.

Off (Stereo)

 

 

 

Dolby Headphone

Dolby Headphone enables ordinary stereo headphones to portray the sound of a five-speaker surround-playback system. The DH1 mode creates

DH1

headphone presentation that resembles a small, well-damped room and is appropriate for use with both movies and music-only recordings.

DH2

The DH2 mode creates a more acoustically live room particularly suited to music listening. The DH3 mode creates a larger room, more like a

DH3

concert hall or movie theater.
