CSII-Mono mode
This mode plays back monaural recordings from
any source, including CDs, DVDs and TV and radio
broadcasts in compelling 6.1-channel surround.
Notes:
• CS II mode is available for 2ch input signals which
are encoded in 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.
VIRTUAL
This mode creates a virtualized surround sound
experience from a two-speaker (front L and R)
playback system playing any multichannel audio
source (such as found on DVDs and digital
broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic
or DTS.
STEREO
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
In stereo program sources, the left and right channels
play normally when PCM-audio or analog stereo is
input.
With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1
multichannels are converted to two channel stereo.
96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in
stereo mode.
SOURCE DIRECT
In the Source Direct mode, the tone control circuit
and bass management confi guration are bypassed
for full-range frequency response and the purist
audio reproduction.
Notes:
• Speaker size is set to Front L/R = LARGE, Center =
LARGE, Surround L/R = LARGE and Subwoofer
= YES automatically. Tone controls, equalizer and
additional processing are deactivated.
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD
players, performing operations such as skip or stop
may momentarily interrupt the output.
PURE DIRECT
The Pure Direct mode further reduces sources of
noise in addition to effect of the Source Direct mode,
by blocking output from the video jacks (VIDEO,
S-VIDEO, COMPONENT VIDEO and HDMI) and
turning the FL display off.

CAUTION
NOTE for DTS signal
* Connected DVD-player, laser-disc player or CD-
player needs to support DTS-digital output. You
may not be able to play some DTS source signals
from certain CD players and LD players even if you
connect the player to the DN-A7100 digitally. This
is because the digital signal has been processed
(such as the output level, sampling frequency, or
frequency response) and the DN-A7100 cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data.
* Depending on the player used, DTS play may
produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.
* While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD are
playing in another Surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to analog
input by INPUT SETUP in SETUP MAIN MENU or
the A/D button.
* The outputs for the VCR OUT, TAPE OUT, and
CD-R/MD OUT output analog audio signals. Do
not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS
using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded
signal will be recorded as noise.
NOTE for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal
* When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the
EX/ES mode.
* Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround
EX-encoded software does not contain the
identifi cation signal. In this case, set the EX/ES
mode manually.
NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio
* AUTO, PURE-DIRECT, and STEREO modes
can be used when playing PCM signals with a
sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVD-
Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If
such signals are input during playback in one of
the other surround modes, output from DN-A7100
will be muted.
* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output.
For details, refer to the player's operation manual.
* Some DVD formatted discs feature copy protection.
When using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not
output from the DVD player. For details, refer to
the player's operation manual.
NOTE for HDCD signal
* HDCD is effective only at the time of digital input.
* You may not be able to play some HDCD source
signals from certain CD players if you connect the
player to the DN-A7100 digitally. This is because
the digital signal has been processed (such as
the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency
response) and the DN-A7100 cannot recognize
the signal as HDCD data.
