SURROUND MODE The SR7500 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. AUTO When this mode is selected, the receiver determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 or PCM-audio. Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multichannel source that has a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTSES 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 IIx 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, the mode is changed to AUTO mode automatically. Refer to page 24 to confirm the available decoding mode. THX THX mode applies additional processing to Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic multi-channel, surround sources. The THX processing was developed by Lucasfilm Ltd. to recreated the sound of top-quality theater. Use the THX mode for all movies on disc, tape or broadcast. In this mode, THX Surround EX will not operate in this mode. THX SURROUND 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. THX Surround EX will operate for any 5.1 channel source whenever THX is active. THX Surround EX is not available in the system without surround back speaker(s). Note: • When playing Dolby Digital Surround EXencoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the THX Surround EX mode. 2 MODE (Dolby Digital, Pro Logic IIx MOVIE, Pro Logic IIx MUSIC, Pro Logic IIx GAME) 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 multichannel encoded 6.1 or 7.1-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 IIx 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 IIx has 3 modes. Please see below. Pro Logic IIx MOVIE This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound from Dolby Surround encoded stereo movie sound tracks. Pro Logic IIx MUSIC This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound from conventional stereo sources, analog or digital, such as CD, Tape, FM, TV, Stereo VCR, etc. Pro Logic IIx GAME Game mode restores the impact low-frequency surround effects by routing them to the system's subwoofer. 25 ENGLISH
