FEATURES

 

 

DTS Neo:6 Cinema

These two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a six-channel surround presentation from conventional

DTS Neo:6 Music

Matrix-encoded and traditional Stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of Neo:6 when a program with any type of analog 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.

 

When selecting a DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode, a 3-, 5- or 6-channel configuration may be available, depending on the number of

 

speakers in your system. Use 3-channel mode when only a front left and right and a center speaker are present; surround-channel

 

information will be mixed into these speakers. The 6-channel mode will only be available if you have configured your surround back

 

speakers as active.

DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 is a high-resolution format that uses a 96kHz sampling rate with 24 bits to produce extended information that improves

 

the harmonics of the source material. The AVR is capable of automatically detecting and decoding DTS 96/24 materials and delivering

 

them as the artist intended.

Dolby Virtual Speaker

Dolby Virtual Speaker technology uses a next-generation advanced algorithm to reproduce the dynamics and surround sound effects

Reference

of a precisely placed 5.1-channel speaker system using only front left and right speakers. In the Reference Mode, the apparent width

Wide

of the sound across the front image is defined by the distance between the two speakers. The Wide Mode provides a wider, more

 

spacious front image when the two speakers areclose together.

5-Channel Stereo

This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room. Depending on whether

7-Channel Stereo

the AVR has been configured for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation, one of these modes, but not both, is available at any time. Ideal for

 

playing music in situations such as a party, this mode places the same signal at the front-left and surround-left, and at the 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.

Dolby Headphone

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