Contents ≫ Connections ≫ Playback ≫ Setup ≫ Listening Mode Effects In alphabetical order „„AllCh Stereo This mode is ideal for background music. Stereo sound is played through the surround speakers as well as the front speakers, creating a stereo image. „„Direct This listening mode can be selected for all input signals. Processing that affects sound quality is shut down, and sound closer to the original is reproduced. The sound is reproduced with the sound field based on the number of channels in the input signal. For example, a 2ch signal is output only from the front speakers. Note that the sound adjustment is not available when this mode is selected. „„Dolby Atmos This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby Atmos audio format. The Dolby Atmos audio format has been implemented in movie theaters equipped with the latest facilities, and enables a revolutionary sound experience in home theaters. Unlike existing surround systems, Dolby Atmos doesn't rely on channels, but rather enables the accurate placement of sound objects that have independent motion in a three-dimensional space with even greater clarity. Dolby Atmos is an optional audio format for Blu-ray Discs and achieves a more threedimensional sound field by introducing a sound field above the listener. • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set audio output on the player to Bitstream output. „„ DD (Dolby Audio - DD) This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby Digital audio format. Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital format developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and is widely adopted for use in movie production. It is also a standard audio format for DVD-Video and Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 5.1 channels on a DVD-Video or Blu-ray Disc; two front channels, one center channel, two surround channels, and the LFE channel dedicated to the bass region (sound elements for the subwoofer). • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via a digital cable and set audio output on the player to Bitstream output. „„ DD+ (Dolby Audio - DD+) This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby Digital Plus audio format. The Dolby Digital Plus format has been improved based on Dolby Digital, increasing the number of channels and endeavoring to improve sound quality by giving more flexibility in data bit rates. Dolby Digital Plus is an optional audio format based on 5.1ch for Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 7.1 channels with additional channels such as the surround back channel. • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set audio output on the player to Bitstream output. „„ DSur (Dolby Audio - DSur) This listening mode expands actual channels to more channels for playback to suit the configuration of the connected speakers by expanding the input signals from 2 channels or 5.1 channels to 5.1 channels or 7.1 channels respectively. As well as traditional speaker setups, this supports ceiling-embedded speakers and playback systems for Dolby Atmos that adopt the Dolby speaker technology. „„ DTHD (Dolby Audio - TrueHD) This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby TrueHD audio format. The Dolby TrueHD audio format is a "lossless" format expanded based on the lossless compression technology referred to as MLP, and it faithfully reproduces the master audio recorded in the studio. Dolby TrueHD is an optional audio format based on 5.1ch for Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 7.1 channels with additional channels such as the surround back channel. 7.1ch is recorded at 96 kHz/24 bit, and 5.1ch is recorded at 192 kHz/24 bit. • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set audio output on the player to Bitstream output. 107 Front Panel≫ Rear Panel≫ Remote≫
