Table A9 – Surround Modes (cont.)

Surround Mode	Description	Incoming Bitstream or Signal
DTS Digital	Using a different encoding/decoding method from Dolby Digital, DTS Digital	• DTS 1/0/.0 or .1, 2/0/.0 or .1, 3/0/.0 or .1, 3/1/.0 or .1, 2/2/.0 or
	also provides up to five discrete main channels, plus an LFE channel.	.1, 3/2/.0 or .1
		• DTS-ES Matrix (played as 5.1)
		• DTS-ES Discrete (played as 5.1)
DTS-HD	DTS-HD is a high-definition audio format that complements the high-definition video	• Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with DTS-HD modes,
	found on Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD discs. It is transmitted using a DTS core with	delivered via HDMI connection
	high-resolution extensions. Even when only DTS 5.1 surround sound is desired (or
	available, if the multizone system is in use), the higher capacity of high-resolution
	discs serves up DTS at twice the bit rate used on DVD-Video discs.
DTS-HD Master Audio	DTS-HD Master Audio technology delivers bit-for-bit reproductions of studio master	• Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with DTS-HD Master
	recordings for an incredibly accurate performance.	Audio technology, delivered via HDMI connection
DTS Stereo	Delivers a 2-channel downmix of DTS Digital materials or presents a matrix-	• DTS 1/0/.0 or .1, 2/0/.0 or .1, 3/0/.0 or .1, 3/1/.0 or .1, 2/2/.0 or
	encoded surround presentation.	.1, 3/2/.0 or .1
		• DTS 96/24
		• DTS-ES Matrix
Logic 7	A HARMAN proprietary technology, Logic 7 technology enhances two-channel	See below
Mode Group	and matrix-encoded recordings by deriving separate information for the surround
	back channels. It provides more accurate placement of sound, improves panning
	and expands the sound field, even when used with 5.1-channel systems. Logic 7
	technology uses 96kHz processing and is available in 5.1 mode. Three variants are
	available.
Logic 7	Especially suited to two-channel sources containing Dolby Surround or matrix	• Analog (two-channel)
Movie	encoding, Logic 7 Movie mode increases center-channel intelligibility.	• Tuner
		• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Logic 7	The AVR is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for two-	• Analog (two-channel)
Music	channel signals. Logic 7 Music mode is well suited to conventional two-	• Tuner
	channel music recordings.	• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Logic 7	Use Logic 7 Game mode to enhance enjoyment of video-game consoles.	• Analog (two-channel)
Game		• Tuner
		• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
5-Channel Stereo	Useful for parties, the left- and right-channel information is played through both	• Analog (two-channel)
	the front and surround speakers on each side, while the center speaker plays a	• Tuner
	summed mono mix.	• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
2-Channel Stereo	Turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-channel signal or a downmix	• Analog (two-channel; DSP downmix available for multichannel)
	of a multichannel signal. The signal is digitized and bass management settings are	• Tuner
	applied, making it appropriate when a subwoofer is used.	• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
