Selecting the Night Mode ON is effective in Dolby Digital only, and it compresses the dynamic range. This softens loud passages such as sudden explosions, to help prevent disturbing others late at night. To turn off the Night mode, press the NIGHT button again. 22 SURROUND MODE The SR4400 is equipped with many surround modes. These are provided to reproduce a variety of surround sound effects, according to the content of the source to be played. The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the input signal and speaker setup. When using the remote controll, press AMP button and press the desired surround mode button. S-DIRECT NIGHT DISPLAY CLEAR AUTO 1 CSII 4 M-CH ST 7 MEMO DTS 2 3 EX/ES DSP 5 6 STEREO 8 6.1CH IN 9 A/D P.SCAN 0 CHANNEL/SKIP AUTO When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES or PCM-audio. Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multi channel source that has a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES auto trigger flag in the digital signal. When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the number of channels for which the corresponding signal is encoded will be played. Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status automatically subjects that signal to Pro Logic II movie processing before play. PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this mode. Notes: • When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD players, performing operations such as "Skip" or "Stop" may momentarily interrupt the output. • When the signal is not decoded is input for using mode, the mode is changed to AUTO mode automatically. Refer to page 24 to confirm the available decoding mode. 2 MODE (Dolby Digital,Pro Logic II MOVIE, Pro Logic II MUSIC, Pro Logic) This mode is used with source materials encoded in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround. DOLBY DIGITAL This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in Dolby Digital. Playing multi-channel encoded 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel. Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this mode. Dolby Pro Logic II brings the excitement of surround sound to any stereo mix, while making existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more like discrete 5.1 channels Surround sound. Dolby Pro Logic II has below 3 modes. Pro Logic II MOVIE This mode provides 5.1 channel surround sound from Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie sound tracks. Pro Logic II MUSIC This mode provides 5.1 channel surround sound from conventional stereo sources, analog or digital, such as CD, tape, FM, TV, stereo VCR, etc. Pro Logic This mode emulated original Dolby Pro Logic decoding (3/1 surround) suit for Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie soundtracks. Notes: • Pro Logic II mode is available to 2ch input signal which is encoded Dolby Digital or PCM format. • PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. EX/ES This mode provides 6.1 channel surround for DOLBY DIGITAL EX, DTS-ES encoded source material such as DVD. This mode cannot be used when an analog input has been selected. Dolby Digital EX In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back , places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before. Dolby Digital EX is not available in the system without surround back speaker. DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1) DTS-ES adds the surround back channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction. This receiver incorporates a DTS-ES decoder, which can handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES Matrix-encoded program sources from DVD, etc.. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete recording of all channels including the surround back channels and higher quality of audio reproduction. DTS-ES is not available in the system without surround back speaker. dts MODE (dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music) This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD and some 2channel signal source. dts : This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in dts multi channel. Playing multi-channel encoded 5.1-channel dts sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel. dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode. The DTS mode cannot use when an analog input has been selected. Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music This mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology. The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel separation. According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either the NEO:6 CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the NEO:6 MUSIC mode optimized for music playback. Note: • PCM-audio (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and analog source material can playback in this mode. MULTI CH. ST This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material. This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both left front and left surround speaker and the right channel signal to both right front and right surround speaker. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channel.
