DVD, LD and audio-only discs, DTS provides up to five separate main audio channels and

 

 

a special dedicated low-frequency channel.

 

 

 

 

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

The standard mode for analog surround-sound decoding. It uses information encoded

15 ms – 30 ms

 

in a two-channel stereo recording to produce four distinct outputs: Left, Center, Right and

Initial Setting = 15 ms

 

a Mono Surround channel. Use this mode for accurate reproduction of programs bearing

 

 

the Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo, UltraStereo or other “Surround” logos. Surround-encoded

 

 

programs include videocassette, DVD and LD movies, TV and cable programs, radio

 

 

programs and audio CDs. Dolby Pro Logic processing may also be used to provide a

 

 

pleasing surround effect with some stereophonic source material that does not carry

 

 

surround encoding.

 

 

 

 

LOGIC 7 C

Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either

Delay time not adjustable

LOGIC 7 M

surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material. 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 Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer

 

 

(if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact.

 

 

 

 

DOLBY 3 STEREO

Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to

No surround channels

 

create center-channel information. In addition, the information that is normally sent to the

 

 

rear-channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front-left and front-right

 

 

channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center-channel speaker

 

 

but no surround speakers.

 

 

 

 

THEATER

Surround processing uses matrix surround decoding to simulate a standard movie or

stage theater.

 

 

 

 

HALL 1

The Hall mode offers a matrix surround choice that simulates a medium-sized chamber hall.

VMAx Near

When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, Harman’s patented VMAx mode

No surround channels

VMAx Far

delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of “phantom speakers” at the

 

 

center 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.

 

5-Channel Stereo

This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and

 

back of a room. Ideal for playing music in situations such as a party, it places the same signal

 

at the front-left and 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.

No delay is available for this mode

SURROUND

This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-

OFF (STEREO)

channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.
