Listening Mode Description

Dolby Pro Logic II playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience
that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games
P L M o v i e
can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging.
If you're not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be
P L M u s i c
used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

Dolby Pro Logic IIz
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to more effectively use existing
Height program material when height channel speaker outputs are present. Dolby
Pro Logic IIz Height can be used to upmix a variety of sources from movies
P L z H e i g h t
and music, but are particularly well-suited to upmix game content.
Dolby EX These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.
They're especially suited to Dolby EX soundtracks that include a matrix-
D o l b y E X
encoded surround back channel. The additional channel adds an extra
dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect
D o l b y D E X
for rotating and fly-by sound effects.
Dolby Digital In this mode, audio from the input source is output without surround-sound
processing. The speaker configuration (presence of speakers), crossover
D o l b y D
frequency, speaker distance, A/V Sync and much of the processing set via
Home menu are enabled. See "Advanced Setup" for more details

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS
with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior

fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.
DTS-ES Discrete *7 This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a
discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven

totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-
degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround
channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with
a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.
DTS-ES Matrix *7 This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-
encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that
