ENGLISH

EX/ES

 

This mode provides 6.1 channel surround for

 

 

Dolby Digital EX, and 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 systems that do

 

not have without surround back speaker(s).

 

DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)

 

DTS-ES adds the surround center channel audio

 

to the DTS 5.1 channel format to improve the

 

acoustic positioning, and makes acoustic image

 

movement more natural with the 6.1 channel

 

reproduction.

 

The SR9600 incorporates a DTS-ES-decoder,

 

which can handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and

 

DTS-ES Matrix-encoded program sources from

 

DVD, etc.

 

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete

 

recording of all channels, including the surround

 

back channel(s), and higher quality audio

 

reproduction.

 

DTS-ES is not available in systems that do not

 

have surround back speakers.

 

dts

 

 

dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music

 

This mode is for DTS-encoded source materials

 

such as laserdisc, CD and DVD. Neo:6 is for some

 

2 channel sources.

dts

This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in dts multichannel.

Playing multichannel encoded-5.1 channel dts sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and a Low Frequency Effects channel.

dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode. The DTS mode cannot be used when an analog input has been selected.

52

Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music

This mode decodes 2 channel signals into 6 channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology.

The DTS Neo:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel separation.

According to the signals to be played back, DTS Neo:6 uses either the Neo:6 Cinema mode optimized for movie playback or the Neo:6 Music mode optimized for music playback.

Notes:

•The Neo:6 mode is available for 2 channel input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD or PCM format.

•PCM audio signals can be subjected to Neo:6 processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

MULTI CH. ST

This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material. This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both the left front and left surround speakers and the right channel signal to both the right front and right surround speakers. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channels.

CIRCLE SURROUND II

(CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO)

Circle Surround is designed to enable multichannel surround sound playback of non-encoded and multichannel encoded material.

Backward compatibility provides listeners with up to 6.1 channels of surround performance from an entire collection of music and film, including broadcast, videotape and stereo recorded music.

Depending on source material, you can select CSII-Cinema mode, CSII-Music mode or CSII- Mono mode.

Notes:

•The CS II mode is available for 2 channel input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD or PCM format.

•PCM audio signals can be subjected to CS II processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

VIRTUAL

This mode creates a virtualized surround sound experience from a two-speaker (front L and R) playback system playing any multichannel audio source (such as found on DVDs and digital broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS.

STEREO

This mode bypasses all surround processing.

In stereo program sources, the left and right channels play normally when PCM audio or analog stereo is input.

With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in stereo mode.

CAUTION

Note for DTS

•To connected DVD player, laserdisc player or CD player needs to support DTS digital output. You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the SR9600 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response), and the SR9600 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data.

•Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.

•While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are playing in another surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU or by pressing the A/D button.

•You can not listen to DTS-encoded software in a multiroom.

•The outputs for VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2 OUT, TAPE OUT and CD-R OUT output analog audio signals only. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

Note or Dolby Digital Surround EX

•When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the EX/ES mode.

•Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX- encoded software does not contain the identification signal. In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.

Note for 96 kHz/192 kHz PCM audio

•The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96/192 kHz (such as from DVD-Video/Audio discs).

•Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

•Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal are not output from the DVD player. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

Note for HDCD

•HDCD is effective only through digital input.

•You may not be able to play some HDCD source signals from certain CD players if you connect the player to the SR9600 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response) and the SR9600 cannot recognize the signal as HDCD data.
