Using the Listening Modes-Continued About the Listening Modes The AV receiver's listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high fidelity and stunning surround sound. Direct In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidelity reproduction. All of the source's audio channels are output as they are. Stereo Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Mono Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs. Multichannel This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources. Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging. If you're not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx. • Dolby PLIIx Movie Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS). • Dolby PLIIx Music Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD). • Dolby PLIIx Game Use this mode with video games, especially those that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo. Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to more effectively use existing program material when height channel speaker outputs are present. Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height can be used to upmix a variety of sources from movies and music, but are particularly well-suited to upmix game content. Dolby Digital Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-sound format, and it'll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. 64 5.1-channel source + Dolby EX These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel playback. They're especially suited to Dolby EX soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround back channel. The additional channel adds an extra dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects. Dolby Digital Plus Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest multichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1 channels with 48 kHz sampling rate. Dolby TrueHD Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc formats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete channels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-channels with 192 kHz sampling rate. 5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Music These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. 5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Movie These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback. DTS The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for highfidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo. DTS 96/24 This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo. DTS-ES Discrete This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/ 7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTSES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack. DTS-ES Matrix This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1channel playback.
