Description

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 2-channel downmix of dtS digital materials or presents a matrix-

encoded surround presentation.

dtS neo:6 cinema

delivers an enhanced 5.1-channel surround-sound experience for movies

dtS neo:6 music

delivers an enhanced 5.1-channel surround-sound experience for music

logic 7

A hArmAn proprietary technology, logic 7 enhances two-channel and matrix-

mode group

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.

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

movie

encoding, logic 7 movie mode increases center-channel intelligibility.

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

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 center speaker plays a

summed mono mix.

2-channel Stereo

turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-channel signal or a downmix

of a multichannel signal. The signal is digitized and bass management settings are

applied, making it appropriate when a subwoofer is used.
