modes, enhanced for movie or video presentations.
• DTS-ES Discrete
• Analog (2-channel)
• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)

Hall 1
Hall 1 is a DSP (digital signal processor) mode that simulates a small

• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
Hall 2
Simulates a medium-sized concert hall.

Theater
Simulates a live-performance theater.
• Analog (2-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
5-Channel Stereo
Useful for parties, the left- and right-channel information is played through
• Analog (2-channel)
both the front and surround speakers on each side, while the center speaker
• Tuner
plays a summed mono mix.
• PCM (32 kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
DSP Surround Off
Turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-channel signal.
• Analog (2-channel)
The signal is digitized and bass management settings are applied, making it
