2 MODE
(Dolby Digital, Pro Logic IIx MOVIE, Pro Logic IIx
MUSIC, Pro Logic IIx GAME)
This mode is used with source materials encoded in
Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.
DOLBY DIGITAL
This mode is enabled when playing source materials
encoded in Dolby Digital.
Playing multichannel-encoded 5.1 channel Dolby
Digital sources provides 5 main audio channels (left,
center, right, surround left and surround right) and a
Low Frequency Effect channel.
Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this
mode.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx has 5 modes:
Pro Logic IIx MOVIE
This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround
sound from Dolby Surround, encoded stereo movie
soundtracks.
Pro Logic IIx MUSIC
This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround
sound from conventional stereo sources (analog or
digital), such as CD, tape, FM, TV, stereo VCR, etc.
Pro Logic IIx GAME
This mode restores the impact low-frequency
surround effects by routing them to the system’s
subwoofer.
5.1ch + Pro Logic IIx Movie
This mode provides 7.1 channel surround sound from
5.1 channel sources movie soundtracks.
5.1ch + Pro Logic IIx Music
This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound
from 5.1 channel sources music soundtracks.
Notes:
• Pro Logic IIx mode will decode as Pro Logic II mode
when the SURR. B is set to “None” from SPEAKER
SETUP menu. (See page 33)
• Pro Logic IIx mode is available for a 2 channel input
signal which is encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD or
PCM format.
dts
dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music
This mode is for DTS-encoded source materials
such as laserdisc, CD and DVD. Neo:6 is for some 2
channel sources.
dts
This mode is enabled when playing source materials
encoded in dts multichannel.
Playing multichannel encoded-5.1 channel dts
sources provides five main audio channels (left,
center, right, surround left and surround right) and a
Low Frequency Effects channel.
dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode.
The DTS mode cannot be used when an analog
input has been selected.
Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music
This mode decodes 2 channel signals into 6 channel
signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology.
The DTS Neo:6 decoder has near-discrete properties
in the frequency characteristics of the channels as
well as in channel separation.
According to the signals to be played back, DTS Neo:6
uses either the Neo:6 Cinema mode optimized for
movie playback or the Neo:6 Music mode optimized
for music playback.
Note:
• The Neo:6 mode is available for 2 channel input
signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD
or PCM format.
CIRCLE SURROUND II
(CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC, CSII-MONO)
Circle Surround is designed to enable multichannel
surround sound playback of non-encoded and
multichannel encoded material.
Backward compatibility provides listeners with up to
6.1 channels of surround performance from an entire
collection of music and fi lm, including broadcast,
videotape and stereo recorded music.
Depending on source material, you can select CSII-
Cinema mode, CSII-Music mode or CSII-Mono
mode.
Note:
• The CS II mode is available for 2 channel input
signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD
or PCM format.
STEREO
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
In stereo program sources, the left and right channels
play normally when PCM audio or analog stereo is
input.
With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 channels
are converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz PCM
source material can be played back in stereo mode.
Dolby Virtual Speaker
Dolby Virtual Speaker technology uses proprietary
technology of Dolby Laboratories to create a virtual
surround sound fi eld using only two speakers for the
front channels, allowing the user to experience sound
as if surround speakers were actually being used.
MULTI CH. (MOVIE, MUSIC)
This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more
natural soundstage from two channel source material.
This is done by feeding the left channel signal to
both the left front and left surround speakers and the
right channel signal to both the right front and right
surround speakers. Additionally, the center channel
reproduces a mix of the right and left channels.
Note:
• Audio is not output from the CENTER channel
when using MULTI CH. MUSIC mode.
Neural Surround
Neural Surround TM represents the latest advancement
in surround technology developed for music.
Neural Surround
TM employs psychoacoustic
frequency domain processing which allows delivery
of a more detailed sound stage with superior channel
separation and localization of audio elements.
System playback is scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multi-
channel surround playback.
CAUTION
Note for DTS
• To connected DVD player, laserdisc player or CD
player needs to support DTS digital output. You
may not be able to play some DTS source signals
from certain CD players and LD players even if
you connect the player to the unit digitally. This is
because the digital signal has been processed
(such as the output level, sampling frequency or
frequency response), and the unit cannot recognize
the signal as DTS data.
• Depending on the player used, DTS play may
produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.
• While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are
playing in another surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to analog
input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU
or by pressing the A/D button.
• You can not listen to DTS-encoded software in a
multiroom.
• The outputs for VCR OUT, TAPE OUT and CD/CD-R
OUT output analog audio signals only. Do not record
from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these
outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be
recorded as noise.
Note or Dolby Digital Surround EX
• When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the
EX/ES mode.
• Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software does not contain the identifi cation signal.
In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.
Note for 96 kHz/192 kHz PCM audio
• The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be
used when playing PCM signals with a sampling
frequency of 96/192 kHz (such as from DVD-Video/
Audio discs).
• Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For
details, refer to the player’s operation manual.
• Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When using
such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal are not output from the
DVD player. For details, refer to the player’s operation
manual.
Note for HDCD
• HDCD is effective only through digital input.
• You may not be able to play some HDCD source
signals from certain CD players if you connect the
player to the unit digitally. This is because the digital
signal has been processed (such as the output level,
sampling frequency or frequency response) and the
unit cannot recognize the signal as HDCD data.
