DTS:X This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the DTS:X audio format. The DTS:X audio format is a combination of the mixing method based on traditional channel based formats (5.1ch and 7.1ch) and object based dynamic audio mixing, and it is characterized by the precise positioning of sounds and the ability to express sound movement. • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output. ES Discrete (DTS-ES Discrete) This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the DTS-ES Discrete audio format. DTS-ES Discrete is an optional audio format based on 5.1ch for DVD-Video and Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 6.1 channels with a monaural surround back channel added. • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via a digital cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output. ES Matrix (DTS-ES Matrix) This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the DTS-ES Matrix audio format. DTS-ES Matrix is an optional audio format based on 5.1ch for DVD-Video and Blu-ray Discs. A monaural surround back channel is inserted to this format by matrix encoding. During playback, 6.1 channel-playback is achieved by the matrix decoder on this unit. • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via a digital cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output. Full Mono In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room. Game-Action This mode is suitable for games with a lot of action. Game-Rock This mode is suitable for games with rock content. Game-RPG This mode is suitable for role-playing games. Game-Sports This mode is suitable for sports games. Mono In this mode, monaural audio is played from the center speaker at the time of inputting an analog signal or PCM signal. If there is no center speaker connected, monaural audio is played from the front speakers. Multich (Multichannel) This mode is suitable to play sources recorded in multichannel PCM. Orchestra This mode is suitable for classical or operatic music. This mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the sound image, and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall. Pure Audio (European, Australian, Taiwanese and Asian models) This mode reproduces the original sound more faithfully. The display and analog video circuit are turned off to provide purer sound. Note that the sound adjustment is not available when this mode is selected. • Selecting this mode turns off the analog video circuit, so the video signals input through jacks other than the HDMI IN jack cannot be displayed on the TV. • This cannot be selected when using the Multi-zone function. Activating the Multi-zone function while this mode is selected will automatically switch the listening mode to Direct. 93 Front Panel≫ Rear Panel≫ Remote≫
