ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Surround Mode	Description	Incoming Bitstream or Signal
DTS Stereo	Delivers a 2-channel downmix of DTS Digital materials, or presents	• DTS 1/0/.0 or .1, 2/0/.0 or .1, 3/0/.0 or .1,
	a matrix-encoded surround presentation.		3/1/.0 or .1, 2/2/.0 or .1, 3/2/.0 or .1

		• DTS-ES Matrix
		• DTS-ES Discrete
DTS Neo:6	DTS Neo:6 analog processing is available with DTS-ES (Matrix or Discrete)	See below.
	signals and 2-channel analog or PCM signals to create a 3- or 5-channel
	presentation.
DTS Neo:6	Depending on the number of speakers in your system, select 3- or 5-channel	• DTS-ES Matrix
Cinema	modes, enhanced for movie or video presentations.	• DTS-ES Discrete
		• Analog (2-channel)
		• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
DTS Neo:6	Available only in 5-channel mode, creates a surround presentation suitable	• DTS-ES Matrix
Music	for music recordings.	• DTS-ES Discrete
		• Analog (2-channel)
		• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
Logic 7	Exclusive to Harman Kardon, Logic 7 enhances 2-channel recordings by	See below.
	deriving separate information for the surround back channels. This provides
	more accurate placement of sound, improves panning and expands the
	sound field, even when used with 5.1-channel systems. Logic 7 uses
	96kHz processing. Three variants are available.
Logic 7	Especially suited to 2-channel sources containing Dolby Surround or	• Analog (2-channel)
Cinema	matrix encoding, Logic 7 Cinema mode increases center channel intelligibility.	• Tuner
		• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Logic 7	The AVR 146 is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for	• Analog (2-channel)
Music	2-channel signals. Logic 7 Music mode is well suited to conventional	• Tuner
	2-channel music recordings.	• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Logic 7	Logic 7 Enhance circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz – 120Hz range to	• Analog (2-channel)
Enhance	the main speakers for less localized bass performance than would be achieved	• Tuner
	solely with a subwoofer. Enhance mode is best used with music recordings.	• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Hall 1	Hall 1 is a DSP (digital signal processor) mode that simulates a small	• Analog (2-channel)
	concert hall.	• Tuner
		• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
Hall 2	Simulates a medium-sized concert hall.	• Analog (2-channel)
		• Tuner
		• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
Theater	Simulates a live-performance theater.	• Analog (2-channel)
		• Tuner
		• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
5-Channel Stereo	Useful for parties, the left- and right-channel information is played through	• Analog (2-channel)
	both the front and surround speakers on each side, while the center speaker	• Tuner
	plays a summed mono mix.	• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
DSP Surround Off	Turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-channel signal.	• Analog (2-channel)
	The signal is digitized and bass management settings are applied, making it	• Tuner
	appropriate when a subwoofer is used.	• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Surround Off	Maintains an analog input signal in that form, bypassing all digital processing	•	Analog (2-channel)
(Analog Bypass)	(i.e., surround and bass management). Requires TONE OUT setting.	•	Tuner
