How Do I Adjust the Surround Modes?
Surround-encoded source and reproduces 5-channel signals in which the surround channel is divided into independent channels for the left and right. Dolby Pro Logic II has the MOVIE mode and MUSIC mode, and the MUSIC mode enables independent adjustment of three parameters including Panorama mode, Dimension and Center Width. See page 29 for the Dolby Pro Logic II parameters.
To allow the users enjoy multichannel playback also from the analog audio of currently available Dolby Surround home video software, the VR-5900 incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic II surround decoder.

•DTS : DTS has five full-frequency channels that create effects nearly identical to those in a theater. Sounds seem to zoom from one place to another or entirely surround you. Like Dolby Digital, DTS has much-improved clarity, surround and sound movement capability compared with Dolby Pro Logic. This listen mode is available on CD, LD, and DVD media. DTS is a strictly digital format that can be sup- plied only by a CD, LD, or DVD player that supports DTS sound. If you attempt to listen to DTS encoded media through the analog con- nections to your new receiver, you will experience digital noise (loud static).
•DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1: Both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround back channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction. This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, which can handle DTS-ESDiscrete-encoded and DTS-ESMatrix-encoded pro- gram sources from DVD, etc.
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels including the surround back channels and higher quality of audio reproduction.
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 features matrix encoding of surround back (SB) signals in the SL/SR signals and decoding of the matrix into the SL, SR and SB signals during playback.
