Surround Mode

Description

dtS digital

using a different encoding/decoding method from dolby digital, dtS digital

also provides up to five discrete main channels, plus an lFe channel.

dtS-hd

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

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

recordings for an incredibly accurate performance.

dtS Stereo

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

encoded surround presentation.

logic 7

A hArMAn proprietary technology, logic 7 technology enhances two-channel

Mode group

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.

logic 7

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

Movie

encoding, logic 7 Movie mode increases centre-channel intelligibility.

logic 7

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

Music

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

channel music recordings.

logic 7

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

game

5-channel Stereo

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

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

summed mono mix.

2-channel Stereo

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

downmix of a multichannel signal. the signal is digitised and bass management

settings are applied, making it appropriate when a subwoofer is used.
