Logic 7 Cinema | Exclusive to Harman Kardon for AV receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the | Delay not adjustable |

|
| SELECT menu, the “5.1” versions of Logic 7 modes are available when the 5.1 option is chosen, |
|
| while the “7.1” versions of Logic 7 produce a full sound field presentation, including back surround |
|
| speakers when the “6.1/7.1” option is chosen. The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode should be used |
|
| with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers |
|
| increased |
|
| that are much smoother and more realistic than with former decoding techniques. The Logic 7 M or |
|
| Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening |
|
| experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes |
|
| also direct |
|
| maximum bass impact. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode is an extension of the Logic 7 modes that is |
|
| primarily used with musical programs and is available with the 5.1 surround mode option selected |
|
| only. Logic 7 E adds additional bass enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz |
|
| range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears broader |
|
| and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy. |

DTS Neo:6 Cinema | These two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a | see Dolby Digital |

THEATER | The THEATER mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a | Delay not adjustable |
| standard live performance theater, with stereo and even pure mono sources. |
|
|
|
|
HALL 1 | The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small (HALL1) or | Delay not adjustable |
HALL 2 | medium sized (HALL 2) concert hall, with stereo and even pure mono sources. |

VMAx Near | When only the two | Delay not adjustable |
VMAx Far | delivers a |

| center and surround positions. The VMAx N, or “Near Field” mode should be selected when |
|
| your listening position is less than 1,5 m from the speakers. The VMAx F, or “Far Field” mode |
|
| may be selected when your listening position is greater than 1,5 m from the speakers. |
|
| The VMAx modes are also available using the Headphones Output 4. When headphones |
|
| are being used, the Far Field mode will push the sound field away from your ears, |
|
| reducing the “inside the head” sensation often experienced when using headphones. |

This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and | No delay available in | |
