THX GAmeS
For the replay of stereo and multichannel game
audio the THX Games mode should be selected.
In this mode, THX ASA processing is applied to
the surround channels of all 5.1 and 2.0-encoded
game sources such as analog, PCM, DTS and
Dolby Digital. This accurately places all game audio
surround information, providing a full 360-degree
playback environment. THX Games mode is unique
as it gives you a smooth transition of audio in all
points of the surround field.
neural Surround
Neural Surround represents the latest advancement
TM
in surround technology developed for music.
Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic
TM
frequency domain processing which allows delivery
of a more detailed sound stage with superior channel
separation and localization of audio elements.
System playback is scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multi-
channel surround playback.

note for dTS
• To connected DVD player, laserdisc 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 unit digitally. This is
because the digital signal has been processed
(such as the output level, sampling frequency or
frequency response), and the unit 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 a DTS laserdisc or CD are
playing in another surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to analog
input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU
or by pressing the A/D button.
• You can not listen to DTS-encoded software in a
ZONE.
• The outputs for VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2 OUT,
TAPE OUT and CD-R OUT output analog audio
signals only. 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 or dolby digital Surround eX
• When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the EX/
ES mode.
• Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software does not contain the identification signal.
In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.
note for 96 kHz/192 kHz PCM audio
• The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be
used when playing PCM signals with a sampling
frequency of 96/192 kHz (such as from DVD-Video/
Audio discs).
• Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For
details, refer to the player's operation manual.
• Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When using
such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal are not output from the
DVD player. For details, refer to the player's operation
manual.
note for HdCd
• HDCD is effective only through digital input.
• You may not be able to play some HDCD source
signals from certain CD players if you connect the
player to the unit digitally. This is because the digital
signal has been processed (such as the output level,
sampling frequency or frequency response) and the
unit cannot recognize the signal as HDCD data.
