Description

dtS-hd is a high-definition audio format that complements the high-definition video

found on blu-ray disc and hd-dVd discs. It is transmitted using a dtS core with

high-resolution extensions. even when only dtS 5.1 surround sound is desired (or

available, if the multizone system is in use), the higher capacity of high-resolution

discs serves up dtS at twice the bit rate used on dVd-Video discs.

dtS-hd master Audio technology delivers bit-for-bit reproductions of studio master

recordings for an incredibly accurate performance.

delivers a 2-channel downmix of dtS digital materials or presents a matrix-

encoded surround presentation.

delivers an enhanced 5.1-channel surround-sound experience for movies

delivers an enhanced 5.1-channel surround-sound experience for music

A hArmAn proprietary technology, logic 7 enhances two-channel and matrix-

encoded recordings by deriving separate information for the surround back

channels. It provides more accurate placement of sound, improves panning and

expands the sound field, even when used with 5.1-channel systems. logic 7

technology uses 96kHz processing and is available in 5.1 mode. Three variants are

available.

especially suited to two-channel sources containing dolby Surround or matrix

encoding, logic 7 movie mode increases center-channel intelligibility.

the AVr is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for two-

channel signals. logic 7 music mode is well suited to conventional two-

channel music recordings.

use logic 7 game mode to enhance enjoyment of video-game consoles.

useful for parties, the left- and right-channel information is played through both

the front and surround speakers on each side, while the center speaker plays a

summed mono mix.

turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-channel signal or a downmix

of a multichannel signal. The signal is digitized and bass management settings are

applied, making it appropriate when a subwoofer is used.
