4.8SURROUND MODES

A surround mode is signal processing that enhances original source material. Surround modes fall into two main categories – those that apply to stereo source material and those that apply to multichannel source material.

By default, all surround speakers are used except with 1.0-channel sources –

after finding your preferences, change presets in the mode presets menu.

Surround modes do not apply to sources set to Anlg-Dir.

INPUT

With analog input there is no way for a processor to detect how the source material was encoded.

Stereo Source Material:

This includes analog stereo, digital PCM stereo, and Dolby Digital 2.0 source material. Surround modes can be applied to provide up to 7.1 channels of output. They are described later in this section. Each source memorizes its mode setting, so you can, for example, set TV to AnthemLogic-Cinema, and CD to AnthemLogic-Music.

5.1- and 6.1-Channel Source Material:

The processor engages decoding according to the format that you select on each DVD.

Once the processor’s display shows the format, you can select additional processing described throughout this section. Your selections are memorized by format and by source.

Why isn’t my processor detecting the sound format that I’m trying to play?

A connection carries one format at a time and the processor plays exactly what it gets. If the connection is coaxial, optical, or AES/EBU make sure the source’s setup menu is set to leave Dolby Digital and DTS unchanged (Bitstream) if it is an SD-DVD player or cable/sat box, otherwise output will be 2.0-channel PCM! You must also select the soundtrack that you want to hear from each disc’s menu, or after the movie starts by pressing AUDIO on the player’s remote control.

HDMI audio on a Blu-rayor HD-DVD player should be set to PCM or Auto in the player’s menu.
