In this mode, audio from the input source is output without surround-sound
processing. “Sp Config” (presence of speakers), “Crossover”, “Sp Dis-
tance”, “A/V Sync” and much of the processing set via AUDIO are enabled.

DTS 96/24

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS
with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior fidel-
ity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

DTS-ES Discrete

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a dis-
crete surround back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven
totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-
degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround
channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with
a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.

DTS-ES Matrix

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-
encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that
bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.

DTS Neo:6

This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 7.1-channel playback. It
uses seven full-bandwidth channels of matrix decoding for matrix-encoded
material, providing a very natural and seamless surround sound experience
that fully envelops the listener.
• Neo:6 Cinema

Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

• Neo:6 Music

Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV,
VHS, DVD).

This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel
playback.

Audyssey DSX

Audyssey DSX

™

is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve sur-

round impression. Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX first adds Wide
channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing
has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical in
the presentation of a realistic soundstage than then Back Surround channels
found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX then creates a pair of Height
channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual
cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels, Audyssey DSX
applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the
front and surround channels.

The combination of Dolby Pro Logic II and Audyssey DSX

modes can be

used.

The combination of Neo:6 Cinema/Music and Audyssey DSX
