ENGLISH

MULTI CH. ST

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 left front and left surround speaker and the
right channel signal to both right front and right
surround speaker. Additionally, the center channel
reproduces a mix of the right and left channel.

CIRCLE SURROUND II (CSII-CINEMA, CSII-MUSIC,
CSII-MONO)

Circle Surround is designed to enable multi-
channel surround sound playback of non-encoded
and multi-channel encoded material.
Backward compatibility provides listeners with up to
6.1 channels of surround performance from your entire
collection of music and film, 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:

• CS II mode is available for 2ch input signals which

are encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM format.

• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic

processing when the sampling frequency is 32
kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

VIRTUAL

This mode creates a virtualized surround sound
experience from a two-speaker (front L and R)
playback system playing any multi-channel audio
source (such as found on DVDs and digital
broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic
or DTS.

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 multi-
channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96
kHz PCM source material can be played back in
stereo mode.

S (SOURCE ) - DIRECT

In the source direct mode, the tone control circuit
and bass management configuration are bypassed
for full range frequency response and the purist
audio reproduction.
96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in
this mode.

Notes:

• Internal speaker size is setup to front L/R = Large,

Center = Large, Surround L/R = Large and
Subwoofer = Yes automatically. Tone controls
and additional processing are also defeated.

• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD

players, performing operations such as “Skip” or
“Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.

CAUTION

NOTE for DTS signal

* Connected DVD-player, laser-disc 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 SR5400
digitally. This is because the digital signal has
been processed (such as the output level,
sampling frequency, or frequency response)
and the SR5400 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 DTS-laser disc or CD are

playing in another Surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to
analog input by INPUT SETUP in SETUP MAIN
MENU or the A/D button.

* The outputs for the VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2

OUT, TAPE OUT, and CD-R OUT output analog
audio signals. 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 for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal

* When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-

encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required
to set the EX/ES mode.

* Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround EX-

e n c o d e d s o f t w a r e d o e s n o t c o n t a i n t h e
identification signal. In this case, set the EX/ES
mode manually.

NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio

* AUTO, Source- DIRECT, and STEREO modes

can be used when playing PCM signals with a
sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from
DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz
audio). If such signals are input during playback
in one of the other surround modes, output from
SR5400 will be muted.

* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output.

For details, refer to the player’s operation
manual.

* Some DVD formatted discs feature copy

protection. When using such discs, 96 kHz PCM
signal is not outputted from the DVD player. For
details, refer to the player's operation manual.
