FEATURES
Logic 7 Cinema
Exclusive to Harman Kardon for AV receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the
Logic 7 Music
maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo
Logic 7 Enhance
material. Depending on the number of speakers in use and the selection made in the SURROUND
SELECT menu, the "5.1" versions of Logic 7 modes are available when the 5.1 option is chosen,
while the "7.1" versions of Logic 7 produce a full sound field presentation, including back surround
speakers when the "6.1/7.1" option is chosen. The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode should be used
with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers
increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans
that are much smoother and more realistic than with former decoding techniques. The Logic 7 M or
Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening
experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes
also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver
maximum bass impact. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode is an extension of the Logic 7 modes that is
primarily used with musical programs and is available with the 5.1 surround mode option selected
only. Logic 7 E adds additional bass enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz
range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears broader
and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.
DTS Neo:6 Cinema
These two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a six-channel
DTS Neo:6 Music
surround presentation from conventional Matrix-encoded and traditional Stereo sources. Select
the Cinema version of Neo:6 when a program with any type of analog Matrix surround encoding
is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6 for optimal processing when a nonencoded,
two-channel stereo program is being played.
DOLBY 3 STEREO
Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to
create center-channel information. In addition, the information that is normally sent to the
rear-channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front-left and front-right
channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center-channel speaker
but no surround speakers.
THEATER
The THEATER mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a
standard live performance theater, with stereo and even pure mono sources.
HALL 1
The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small (HALL1) or
HALL 2
medium sized (HALL 2) concert hall, with stereo and even pure mono sources.
VMAx Near
When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, Harman's patented VMAx mode
VMAx Far
delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of "phantom speakers" at the
center and surround positions. The VMAx N, or "Near Field" mode should be selected when
your listening position is less than 1,5 m from the speakers. The VMAx F, or "Far Field" mode
may be selected when your listening position is greater than 1,5 m from the speakers.
The VMAx modes are also available using the Headphones Output
are being used, the Far Field mode will push the sound field away from your ears,
reducing the "inside the head" sensation often experienced when using headphones.
5-Channel Stereo
This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and
7-Channel Stereo
back of a room. Depending on whether the AVR has been configured for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1
operation, one of these modes, but not both, is available at any time. Ideal for playing music in
situations such as a party, this mode places the same signal at the front-left and surround-left,
and at the front-right and surround-right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed mono
mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.
SURROUND
This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-
OFF (STEREO)
channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.
