Pure Audio *1 In this mode, the display and video circuitry
are turned off, minimizing possible noise
sources for the ultimate in high-fidelity
audio reproduction. (As the analog video
circuitry is turned off, only video signals
input through HDMI IN can be output from
the HDMI output.)

Direct In this mode, audio from the input source is
output without surround-sound processing.
The speaker configuration (presence of
speakers) and speaker distance settings are
enabled, but much of the processing set via
the audio setup is disabled. See “On-screen
Setup” for more details (
➔ page 57 ).
Stereo Sound is output from the front left and right
speakers and subwoofer.
Mono Use this mode when watching an old movie
with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the
foreign language soundtracks recorded in the
left and right channels of some movies. It
can also be used with DVDs or other sources
containing multiplexed audio, such as
karaoke DVDs.
Multichannel This mode is for use with PCM multichannel
sources.
DSD *3 In this mode, audio from the input source is
output without surround-sound processing.

DTS Express
DTS 96/24 *5 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 fidelity. Use it with
DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.
DTS-ES Discrete *6 This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete
soundtracks, which use a discrete 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 *6 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.
