Buttons and LEDs

20 Mode 2 Button and LED

 

Use these buttons to select available processing modes (such as

 

Dolby Digital, DTS, PLII Movie, THX, etc.) for incoming signals from

 

a video or audio source.

 

The default mode for a signal is always stored in Mode 1. Use the

 

Mode 1 button to select the default mode. All modes that can be

 

used for the same signal are automatically stored in Mode 2. Use the

 

Mode 2 button to scroll through these other modes. The last mode

 

displayed in Mode 2 is the one selected. Based on the source signal,

 

the Home Theater Standard 7.1 automatically selects the correct

 

modes available for the signal.

 

21 Pro Logic II Button and LED

 

Use this button to select the Dolby Pro Logic II mode for Dolby

 

Surround encoded material, including laser discs, videotapes, televi-

 

sion broadcasts, and compact discs. The red LED illuminates when

 

Dolby Pro Logic II decoding is selected.

 

 

Note

This mode is selected automatically if Dolby Digital source material is

 

encoded for Pro Logic. To turn off this mode, press the Pro Logic II button.

 

22 Preamp Button and LED

 

Use this button to send the signal from an analog input directly to the

 

volume control, with no digital processing, using the analog stage of

 

the preamp. This avoids possible digital signal degradation and can

 

be used for components such as the Krell KPS 28c Compact Disc

 

Player that have a high quality signal. See Assign Analog Audio

 

Inputs, on page 45, for information on assigning the analog input to

 

one of the device buttons (DVD, LD, SAT, VCR, TV).

 

 

Note

This feature is only available with a signal from an analog input. If you

 

attempt to use it with a signal from a digital input, The Home Theater

 

Standard 7.1 on-screen display will read NOT ALLOWED.
