signals and 2-channel analog or PCM signals to create a 3- or 5-channel
presentation.
DTS Neo:6
Depending on the number of speakers in your system, select 3- or 5-channel
• DTS-ES Matrix
Cinema
modes, enhanced for movie or video presentations.
• DTS-ES Discrete
• Analog (2-channel)
• PCM (44.1kHz or 48kHz)
DTS Neo:6
Available only in 5-channel mode, creates a surround presentation suitable
• DTS-ES Matrix
Music
for music recordings.
• DTS-ES Discrete
• Analog (2-channel)
• PCM (44.1kHz or 48kHz)
Logic 7
Exclusive to Harman Kardon, Logic 7 enhances 2-channel recordings by
See below
deriving separate information for the surround back channels. This provides
more accurate placement of sound, improves panning and expands the
sound field, even when used with 5.1-channel systems. Logic 7 uses
96kHz processing.
Logic 7
Especially suited to 2-channel sources containing Dolby Surround or
• Analog (2-channel)
Cinema
matrix encoding, Logic 7 Cinema mode increases center channel intelligibility.
• Tuner
• PCM (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Logic 7
The AVR 145 is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for
• Analog (2-channel)
Music
2-channel signals. Logic 7 Music mode is well suited to conventional
• Tuner
2-channel music recordings.
• PCM (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Logic 7
Logic 7 Enhance circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz – 120Hz range to
• Analog (2-channel)
Enhance
the main speakers for less localized bass performance than would be achieved • Tuner
solely with a subwoofer. Enhance mode is best used with music recordings.
• PCM (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Hall 1
Hall 1 is a DSP (digital signal processor) mode that simulates a small
• Analog (2-channel)
concert hall.
• Tuner
• PCM (44.1kHz or 48kHz)
Hall 2
Simulates a medium-sized concert hall.
• Analog (2-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (44.1kHz or 48kHz)
Theater
Simulates a live-performance theater.
• Analog (2-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (44.1kHz or 48kHz)
5-Channel Stereo
Useful for parties, the left- and right-channel information is played through
• Analog (2-channel)
both the front and surround speakers on each side, while the center speaker
• Tuner
plays a summed mono mix.
• PCM (44.1kHz or 48kHz)
DSP Surround Off
Turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-channel signal.
• Analog (2-channel)
The signal is digitized and bass management settings are applied, making it
• Tuner
appropriate when a subwoofer is used.
• PCM (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Surround Off
Maintains an analog input signal in that form, bypassing all digital processing
• Analog (2-channel)
(Analog Bypass)
(i.e., surround and bass management). Requires TONE OUT setting.
• Tuner
