SURROUND MODE

The SR8400 is equipped with many surround modes. These are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played.

The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the input signal and speaker setup.

AUTO

When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/ 24 or PCM-audio.

Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multichannel source that has a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-

40ES auto trigger flag in the digital signal.

When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the

50number of channels for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be played.

Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status automatically subjects that signal to Pro Logic IIx movie processing before play.

PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this mode.

HDCD source material can be played in this mode.

Notes:

Dolby Pro Logic IIx brings the excitement of

To turn off the Night mode, press the NIGHT button again.

•When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD players, performing operations such as “Skip” or “Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.

•When the signal is not decoded, the mode is changed to AUTO mode automatically. Refer to page 22 to confirm the available decoding mode.

2MODE

(Dolby Digital, Pro Logic IIx MOVIE, Pro Logic IIx MUSIC, Pro Logic IIx GAME Pro Logic)

This mode is used with source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.

DOLBY DIGITAL

This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in Dolby Digital.

Playing multichannel encoded 6.1 or 7.1-channel Dolby Digital sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel. Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this mode.

• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic

processing when the sampling frequency is 32

kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

EX/ES

This mode provides 6.1 channel surround for DOLBY DIGITAL EX, DTS-ES encoded source material such as DVD.

This mode cannot be used when an analog input has been selected.

Dolby Digital EX

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.

Dolby Digital EX is not available in the system without surround back speaker(s).
