Surround Mode

Description

Using a different encoding/decoding method from Dolby Digital, DTS Digital

DTS Digital

also provides up to five discrete main channels, plus an LFE channel.

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.

Logic 7

A HARMAN proprietary technology, Logic 7 technology enhances two-channel

Mode Group

and matrix-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.

Logic 7

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-

Logic 7

channel signals. Logic 7 Music mode is well suited to conventional two-

Music

channel music recordings.

Logic 7

Use Logic 7 Game mode to enhance enjoyment of video-game consoles.

Game

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.
