Surround Mode Chart

MODE	FEATURES
Dolby Digital	Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and
	a special dedicated Low-Frequency Effects channel.
Dolby Digital EX	Available when the DPR 1001 is configured for 6.1/7.1-channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is the latest version of Dolby Digital. When used with
	movies or other programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1/7.1 sound field is
	available. When the DPR is set for 6.1/7.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is present, the EX mode is automatically selected. Even if specific EX
	encoding is not available to provide the additional channel, the special algorithms will derive a 6.1/7.1 output.
DTS 5.1	When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is available when DVD, audio-only music or laser discs encoded
	with DTS data are played. DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency channel.
DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix	When the speaker configuration is set for 6.1/7.1 operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program source will automatically trigger the selection
DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete	of one of the two DTS-ES modes. Newer discs with special DTS-ES discrete encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth
	channels plus a separate low-frequency channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrix mode, which creates a 6.1-channel
	sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.
Dolby Pro Logic II	Dolby Pro Logic II is the latest version of Dolby Laboratory’s benchmark surround technology that decodes full-range, discrete left, center right,
Movie	right surround and left surround channels from either matrix surround encoded programs and conventional stereo sources when an analog input
Music	is in use. The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks, while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with
Pro Logic	musical selections. The Pro Logic mode re-creates original Pro Logic processing for those who prefer that presentation.
Logic 7 Cinema	Exclusive to Harman Kardon for A/V receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either
Logic 7 Music	surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material. Depending on the number of speakers in use and the selection made in the
Logic 7 Enhance	SURROUND SELECT and LOGIC 7 menus, 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
	center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other
	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 low-frequency information to the
	subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode, available only when the 5.1 option is
	chosen, is an extension of the Logic 7 modes that is primarily used with musical programs. Logic 7 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 six-channel surround presentation from conventional Matrix-encoded
DTS Neo:6 Music	and traditional Stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of Neo:6 when a program with any type of analog Matrix surround encoding is present.
	Select the Music version of Neo:6 for optimal processing when a nonencoded, two-channel stereo program is being played.
Dolby 3 Stereo	Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to create center-channel information. In addition, the
	information that is normally sent to the rear-channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front-left and front-right channels for increased
	realism. Use this mode when you have a center-channel speaker but no surround speakers.
Theater	The Theater mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a standard live performance theater.
Hall 1, Hall 2	The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small (Hall 1) or medium-sized (Hall 2) concert hall.
VMAx Near	When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, Harman’s patented VMAx mode delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion
VMAx Far	of “phantom speakers” at the center and surround positions. The VMAx N, or “Near Field” mode should be selected when your listening position is
	less than five feet from the speakers. The VMAx F, or “Far Field” mode should be selected when your listening position is greater than five feet from
	the speakers. The VMAx modes are also available using the Headphones Output Ó. When headphones are being used, the Far Field mode will
	appear to push the sound field away from your ears, reducing the “inside the head” sensation often experienced when using headphones.
5-Channel Stereo	These modes take advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room. Depending on whether the DPR
7-Channel Stereo	has been configured for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation, one of these modes, but not both, is available at any time. Ideal for playing music in
	situations such as a party, it places the same sound at the front-left and surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers.
	The center channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.
Surround	This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.
