Operation Selecting Your Source Input Pressing the Input button cycles through the various audio input sources. The inputs will always cycle in the same order, as shown below. With 2-position Switch in '6 Ch. Direct' Mode: • Direct: input stream from the analog inputs • Optical: input stream from the optical input • Coax: input stream from the coax input Cycling through the inputs is always the same unless you have the 2-position switched to stereo 1-3 mode. With 2-position Switch in 'Stereo 1-3' Mode: • Stereo 1: Use the Front L/R analog input (lime green) as a stereo input • Stereo 2: Use the Rear L/R analog input (black) as a stereo input • Stereo 3: Use the Center/Sub analog input (orange) as a stereo input • Optical: input stream from the optical input • Coax: input stream from the coax input Whenever the input or bitstream changes, the previously selected effect will be automatically re-selected. For example, if you select Stereo x2 while listening to the 6 ch. Direct input, 'Stereo x2' will be stored in memory for the 'Direct' Input. The next time you select the Direct input, Stereo x2 will be automatically selected as the effect. When returning from Standby, the previously selected input and effect will be shown on the control pod. Effects The effect button is used to select the type of surround sound or audio technology you want to use with a particular input. In many cases, the control pod will recognize what audio technology is streaming from your audio device, and will automatically select it. For example, if you are watching a DVD and have selected the Dolby® Digital 5.1 stream on the DVD, then when you select the DVD audio input, Dolby® Digital will automatically be the selected effect. The control pod will default to the last effect used by whatever input source you are using. You can use the 'effect' button to select a different audio technology if you wish to change it. Note that not all effects are available for all inputs (refer to the table): Repeatedly pressing the 'effect' button rotates through the available options for that type of input. If only one effect option is available, then the effect button will have no impact. Each effect is described below.

Your audio source must have a DTS® 5.1 soundtrack. WHAT IT IS: DTS® is a digital audio stream that gives you discrete 5.1 audio. When enabled it will give you full surround sound with separate front, rear, and center channels. • Dolby® Digital: Decode the Dolby® Digital 5.1 stream using the Dolby® Digital decoding algorithm. Your audio source must have a Dolby® Digital soundtrack. WHAT IT IS: Dolby® Digital 5.1 is a digital audio stream that gives you discrete 5.1 audio. When enabled it will give you full surround sound with separate front, rear, and center channels. • Pro Logic II Movie: Decode the Dolby® Digital stereo, PCM stereo, or analog 2 channel stream using the Pro Logic II Movie decoding algorithm. WHAT IT IS: Pro Logic II Movie is a surround sound format that creates 5.1 surround sound from stereo movie sources. When enabled it will give you full surround sound with front, rear, and center channels from a stereo signal. PC2 movie is optimized for movie content. • Pro Logic II Music: Decode the Dolby® Digital, PCM stereo, or L/R analog 2 channel stream using the Pro Logic II Music decoding algorithm. WHAT IT IS: Pro Logic II Music is surround sound format that creates 5.1 surround sound from stereo music sources. When enabled it will give you full surround sound with front, rear, and center channels from a stereo signal. PC2 music is optimized for music playback. • 6 Channel Direct: Send all 6 channels from the direct input straight to the amplifiers without applying any decoding algorithm. WHAT IT IS: This direct analog stream is raw audio, without decoding. Depending on the audio type, you may or may not receive surround sound. 8 English Operation
