4.8.3 SURROUND MODES FOR 2.0-CHANNEL SOURCE MATERIAL
Number of output channels for each mode is indicated below in bold type. THX must be Off for all modes to
be available. Press MODE then use the Master Control Knob or
(up/down) on the remote control to
cycle through selections:
Stereo No surround mode is applied.
AnthemLogic-Music 6.1 – One of Anthem’s proprietary surround modes, designed to expand the
soundstage of stereo music in a very natural way without losing soundstage
integrity or image focus. The center channel is not used.
AnthemLogic-Cinema 7.1 – Another proprietary mode from Anthem, designed to provide the impact of a
large theater experience from 2-channel movies and TV programs.
Pro Logic IIx Music 7.1 – Created for use with stereo music material. The following three parameters
can be adjusted by pressing the MODE button one, two, or three times while in
Pro Logic IIx Music then using the Master Control Knob or
on the remote:
Center Width is adjustable from 0 to 7. Setting this to 0 places all center sound in
the center speaker while 7 places it equally in the left and right channels.
Dimension has seven steps of balance adjustment between the surround and
center channels.
Panorama when “On” extends the front stereo image to include the surround
channels. Effective for recordings with strong left or right channel elements.
Pro Logic IIx Movie 7.1 – Dolby Surround decoder for 2-channel movies and TV programs.
Pro Logic IIx Matrix 7.1 – A matrix decoder that does not steer the image from one speaker to another.
Pro Logic IIx Game 7.1 – Bass from surround effects in video games is optimized for visceral impact.
Dolby Pro Logic 4.1 – In case there’s a desire to hear it “as it used to be” (surrounds are mono).
Neo:6 Music 6.1 – Can be used with stereo music material to create 6.1 output channels. The
center image can be adjusted by pressing MODE while in Neo:6 Music and
rotating the Master Control Knob or using
(up/down) on the remote:
Center Image is adjustable from 0 to 5 – an increase makes the center channel
more prominent.
Neo:6 Cinema 6.1 – A matrix decoder that can be used with any matrix-encoded movie.
Separation is created by allowing sounds to be placed at different points in the
sound field.
All Channel Stereo 7.1 – The left and right channels are also sent to the surround and rear channels,
while the center channel and subwoofer receive a combination of both. Some
processing is used to retain image clarity. Useful for playing music at parties so
that it can be heard with equal loudness in all parts of the room.
All Channel Mono 7.1 – Combines the left and right channels and sends the signal to all speakers.
Mono 1.1 – Combines the left and right channels and sends them to the center speaker.
Mono-Academy 1.1 – Gives a presentation closer to the original on movies made from the 1930s to
the 1960s, which relied on high-frequency rolloff for sound balance and to mask
inherent hiss. Use with old mono movies that sound overly noisy. Can also be
useful with DVDs of some TV shows if high-pitched noise leakage from a CRT
(cathode ray tube) monitor is audible in the recording.
