CHANNEL/SKIP
AUTO
When this mode is selected, the receiver
determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby
Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES
or PCM-audio.
Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multi
channel source that has a Dolby Digital Surround
EX or DTS-ES auto trigger flag in the digital signal.
When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the
number of channels for which the corresponding
signal is encoded will be played.
Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with
Dolby surround status automatically subjects that
signal to Pro Logic II movie processing before
play.
PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this
mode.
Notes:
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and
CD players, performing operations such as "Skip"
or "Stop" may momentarily interrupt the output.
• When the signal is not decoded is input for using
mode, the mode is changed to AUTO mode
automatically. Refer to page 24 to confirm the
available decoding mode.
2 MODE
(Dolby Digital,Pro Logic II MOVIE, Pro Logic II
MUSIC, Pro Logic)
This mode is used with source materials encoded
in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.
DOLBY DIGITAL
This mode is enabled when playing source
materials encoded in Dolby Digital.
Playing multi-channel encoded 5.1-channel Dolby
Digital sources provides five main audio channels
(left, center, right, surround left and surround right)
and Low Frequency Effect channel.
Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this
mode.
Dolby Pro Logic II brings the excitement of
surround sound to any stereo mix, while making
existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more like
discrete 5.1 channels Surround sound.
Dolby Pro Logic II has below 3 modes.
Pro Logic II MOVIE
This mode provides 5.1 channel surround sound
from Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie sound
tracks.
Pro Logic II MUSIC
This mode provides 5.1 channel surround sound
from conventional stereo sources, analog or
digital, such as CD, tape, FM, TV, stereo VCR, etc.
Pro Logic
This mode emulated original Dolby Pro Logic
decoding (3/1 surround) suit for Dolby Surround
encoded stereo movie soundtracks.
Notes:
• Pro Logic II mode is available to 2ch input signal
which is encoded Dolby Digital or PCM format.
• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic
processing when the sampling frequency is 32
kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
EX/ES
This mode provides 6.1 channel surround for
DOLBY DIGITAL EX, DTS-ES encoded source
material such as DVD.
This mode cannot be used when an analog input
has been selected.
Dolby Digital EX
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have
been encoded with Dolby Digital surround EX
technology are able to reproduce an extra channel
which has been added during the mixing of the
program.
This channel, called Surround Back , places
sounds behind the listener in addition to the
currently available front left, front center, front
right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer
channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity
for more detailed imaging behind the listener and
brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound
localization than ever before.
Dolby Digital EX is not available in the system
without surround back speaker.
DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)
DTS-ES adds the surround back channel audio to
the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the
acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image
movement more natural with the 6.1-channel
reproduction.
This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder,
which can handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and
DTS-ES Matrix-encoded program sources from
DVD, etc..
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete
recording of all channels including the surround
back channels and higher quality of audio
reproduction.
DTS-ES is not available in the system without
surround back speaker.
dts MODE
(dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music)
This mode is for DTS encoded source materials
such as LASER
DISC, CD, and DVD and some 2channel signal
source.
dts : This mode is enabled when playing source
materials encoded in dts multi channel.
Playing multi-channel encoded 5.1-channel dts
sources provides five main audio channels (left,
center, right, surround left and surround right) and
Low Frequency Effect channel.
dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode.
The DTS mode cannot use when an analog input
has been selected.
Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music
This mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6-
channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix
technology.
The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete
properties in the frequency characteristics of the
channels as well as in channel separation.
According to the signals to be played back, DTS
NEO:6 uses either the NEO:6 CINEMA mode
optimized for movie playback or the NEO:6 MUSIC
mode optimized for music playback.
Note:
• PCM-audio (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and
analog source material can playback in this mode.
MULTI CH. ST
This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and
more natural soundstage from two channel source
material.
This is done by feeding the left channel signal to
both left front and left surround speaker and the
right channel signal to both right front and right
surround speaker. Additionally, the center channel
reproduces a mix of the right and left channel.
