About the Listening Modes

The AV receiver's listening modes can transform your
listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with
high fidelity and stunning surround sound.
The illustration shows which speakers are active in
each listening mode with 5.1 channel speaker sys-
tem.
Front left
Surround left
Direct
In this mode, audio from the input source is output
directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidel-
ity reproduction. All of the source's audio channels are
output as they are.
Stereo
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and
subwoofer.
Mono
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke
DVDs.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II expands any 2-channel source for
5.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and
seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops
the listener. As well as music and movies, video games
can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and
vivid imaging.
• Dolby PLII Movie
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).
• Dolby PLII Music
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,
TV, VHS, DVD).
• Dolby PLII Game
Use this mode with video games, especially those
that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.
Dolby Digital
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital
logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most
common digital surround-sound format, and it'll put you
right in the middle of the action, just like being in a
movie theater or concert hall.

tichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1

bear the DTS logo.

high-resolution DTS with a 96kHz sampling rate and 24-
bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with
DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.
DTS Neo:6
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 5.1-chan-
nel playback. It uses seven full-bandwidth channels of
matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing
a very natural and seamless surround sound experience
that fully envelops the listener.

Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD,
VHS).
