Updating of listening modes
We plan to provide support for the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
audio format through firmware updates for this unit. This
means that the selectable listening modes depend on the
version of firmware.
On firmware version before Dolby Atmos support
0 Dolby Pro Logic Ⅱ -related modes can be selected.
On firmware version after Dolby Atmos support
0 Dolby Atmos, Dolby Surround, and Surround Virtual can
be selected. (Dolby Pro Logic Ⅱ -related modes cannot
be selected after updating.) Also, when Surround Virtual
can be selected, T-D (Theater-Dimensional) cannot be
selected.
On firmware version before DTS:X support
0 You can select Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music.
On firmware version after DTS:X support
0 You can select DTS:X and DTS Neural:X. (You cannot
select Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music after updating.)
In alphabetical order
AllCh Stereo
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire
listening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,
and surround back speakers.
Direct
This listening mode can be selected for all input signals.
Processing that affects sound quality is shut down so sound
closer to the original is reproduced. Speakers play the
sound field according to the number of channels in the input
signal, so there would be output from only the front
speakers for a two-channel signal, for example.
Dolby Atmos
> Install > Initial Setup
This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded
in the Dolby Atmos audio format.
The Dolby Atmos audio format has been implemented in
movie theaters equipped with the latest facilities and
enables a revolutionary sound experience in home theaters.
Unlike existing surround systems, Dolby Atmos doesn't rely
on channels, but rather enables the accurate placement of
sound objects that have independent motion in a three-
dimensional space with even greater clarity. Dolby Atmos is
an optional audio format on Blu-ray Discs and achieves a
three-dimensional sound field by introducing a sound field
above the listener.
0 To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via HDMI
cable and set audio output on the player to bitstream
output.
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded
in the Dolby Digital audio format.
Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital format developed by
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. widely adopted for use in movie
production. It is also a standard audio format on DVD-Video
and Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 5.1
channels on a DVD-Video or Blu-ray Disc; two front
channels, a center channel, two surround channels, and the
LFE channel dedicated to the bass region (sound elements
for the subwoofer).
0 To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via digital
cable and set audio output on the player to bitstream
output.
Dolby D ＋ (Dolby Digital Plus)
This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded
in the Dolby Digital Plus audio format.
The Dolby Digital Plus format is a revision based on Dolby
Digital, increasing the number of channels and endeavoring
to improve sound quality by giving more flexibility in data bit
rates. Dolby Digital Plus is used as an optional audio format
on Blu-ray Discs, based on 5.1ch, but with additional

channels such as the surround back channel added for a
maximum of 7.1ch.

cable and set audio output on the player to bitstream
output.
Dolby PL Ⅱ (Dolby Pro Logic Ⅱ )
These listening modes allow you to expand the playback
signal to 5.1 channels to suit the connected speaker
configuration when the input signal is 2 channel.
Broadening the sound field provides you with a seamless
sound with more depth and realism. Along with CD and
movie sources, games can also benefit from the vivid sound
localization. Choose from a mode ideal for movies (Movie),
a mode ideal for music (Music), and a mode ideal for
gaming (Game).
Dolby Surround
These listening modes allow you to expand the playback
signal to multiple channels to suit the connected speaker
configuration when the input signal is 2 channel or 5.1
channel. Along with past speaker setups, this is also
compatible with playback systems for Dolby Atmos that
include Dolby speaker technology.
Dolby TrueHD
This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded
in the Dolby TrueHD audio format.
The Dolby TrueHD audio format is a reversible format
expanded based on the lossless compression technology
referred to as MLP, and it makes it possible to faithfully
reproduce the master audio recorded in the studio. Dolby
TrueHD is used as an optional audio format on Blu-ray
Discs, based on 5.1ch, but with additional channels such as
the surround back channel added for a maximum of 7.1ch.
7.1ch is recorded at 96 kHz/24bit, and 5.1ch is recorded at
192 kHz/24bit.
