5.1< Indicates a 5.1 decode of 6.1 material (phantom back centre).

>6.1 Indicates 6.1 output created by a 2.0 or 5.1 decode, post-processed to 6.1.

>6.1< Indicates 6.1 output created from 6.1 material, decoded as 5.1 and then post-processed to 6.1.

#Mode used to force 6.1 or EX or ES decoding where the decoder detects a disc as only 5.1 encoded but it is known to actually be EX/ES encoded (i.e. the EX or ES flags are missing from the disc). Note however that the processor cannot create ES/EX output from 5.1 encoded discs, this mode is only for when the flags are missing. To create 6.1 from a 5.1 disc use a post processed mode instead as shown above.

"Stereo or Stereo + Sub, Press Stereo Modes Button to change.

!Digital Signal Processing created modes for signals with no encoding.

%DSP Music mode has no active centre channel output, as this is not appropriate for this program type.

Note: Bold entries are being output in their native resolution/format.
