AUTO
When this mode is selected, the unit determines
whether the digital input signal is Dolby Digital,
Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 or PCM
audio.
Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multichannel
sources that have a Dolby Digital Surround EX or
DTS-ES 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 II x movie processing before play.
PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this
mode.

EX/ES
This mode provides 6.1 channel surround for Dolby
Digital EX, and DTS-ES-encoded source material
such as DVD.
This mode cannot be used when an analog input has
been selected.
Dolby Digital 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.
Dolby Digital EX is not available in systems that do
not have without surround back speaker(s).
DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1)
DTS-ES adds the surround center channel audio to
the DTS 5.1 channel format to improve the acoustic
positioning, and makes acoustic image movement
more natural with the 6.1 channel reproduction.
This unit incorporates a DTS-ES-decoder, which
can handle DTS-ES Discrete-encoded and DTS-ES
Matrix-encoded program sources from DVD, etc.
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 features digital discrete
recording of all channels, including the surround back
channel(s), and higher quality audio reproduction.
DTS-ES is not available in systems that do not have
surround back speakers.

center, right, surround left and surround right) and a
Low Frequency Effect channel.
Dolby Digital EX decoding is not available in this
mode.
Dolby Pro Logic II x has 5 modes:
Pro Logic II x MOVIE
This mode provides 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround
sound from Dolby Surround, encoded stereo movie
soundtracks.
Pro Logic II x 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 II x GAME
This mode restores the impact low-frequency
surround effects by routing them to the system’s
subwoofer.
5.1ch + Pro Logic II x Movie
This mode provides 7.1 channel surround sound from
5.1 channel sources movie soundtracks .
5.1ch + Pro Logic II x Music

STEREO
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
In stereo program sources, the left and right channels
play normally when PCM audio or analog stereo is
input.
With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 channels
are converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz PCM
source material can be played back in stereo mode.
Dolby Virtual Speaker
Dolby Virtual Speaker technology uses proprietary
technology of Dolby Laboratories to create a virtual
surround sound field using only two speakers for the
front channels, allowing the user to experience sound
as if surround speakers were actually being used.
MULTI CH. (MOVIE, MUSIC)
This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more
natural soundstage from two channel source material.
This is done by feeding the left channel signal to
both the left front and left surround speakers and the
right channel signal to both the right front and right
surround speakers. Additionally, the center channel
reproduces a mix of the right and left channels.

THX ULTRA2 CINEMA
THX ULTRA2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using
all 7.1 speakers giving you the best possible movie
watching experience. In this mode, ASA processing
blends the surround L/R speakers and surround back
speakers, providing the optimal mix of ambient and
directional surround sound.
This mode permits the playback of a non Surround
EX/ES-encoded 5.1 movie over a 7.1 system.
DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby
Digital Surround EX-encoded soundtracks will be
automatically detected, if the appropriate flag has
been encoded.
Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks
are missing the digital flag that allows automatic
switching.
If you know that the movie that you are watching is
encoded in Surround EX, you can manually select the
THX Surround EX playback mode, otherwise the THX
ULTRA2 Cinema mode will apply ASA processing to
provide optimum replay.
THX MUSIC
For the replay of multichannel music, the THX Music
mode should be selected. In this mode, THX ASA
processing is applied to the surround channels of all
5.1-encoded music sources, such as DTS and Dolby
Digital, to provide a wide, stable, rear soundstage.

THX GAMES
For the replay of stereo and multichannel game
audio the THX Games mode should be selected.
In this mode, THX ASA processing is applied to
the surround channels of all 5.1 and 2.0-encoded
game sources such as analog, PCM, DTS and
Dolby Digital. This accurately places all game audio
surround information, providing a full 360-degree
playback environment. THX Games mode is unique
as it gives you a smooth transition of audio in all
points of the surround field.
Neural Surround
Neural SurroundTM represents the latest advancement
in surround technology developed for music.
Neural SurroundTM employs psychoacoustic
frequency domain processing which allows delivery
of a more detailed sound stage with superior channel
separation and localization of audio elements.
System playback is scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multi-
channel surround playback.
CAUTION
Note for DTS
• To connected DVD player, laserdisc player or CD
player needs to support DTS digital output. You
may not be able to play some DTS source signals
from certain CD players and LD players even if
you connect the player to the unit digitally. This is
because the digital signal has been processed
(such as the output level, sampling frequency or
frequency response), and the unit cannot recognize
the signal as DTS data.
• Depending on the player used, DTS play may
produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.
• While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are
playing in another surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to analog
input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU
or by pressing the A/D button.
• You can not listen to DTS-encoded software in a
ZONE.
• The outputs for VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2 OUT,
TAPE OUT and CD-R OUT output analog audio
signals only. Do not record from CDs or LDs that
support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the
DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.
Note or Dolby Digital Surround EX
• When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the EX/
ES mode.
• Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software does not contain the identification signal.
In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.
Note for 96 kHz/192 kHz PCM audio
• The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be
used when playing PCM signals with a sampling
frequency of 96/192 kHz (such as from DVD-Video/
Audio discs).
• Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For
details, refer to the player’s operation manual.
• Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When using
such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal are not output from the
DVD player. For details, refer to the player’s operation
manual.
Note for HDCD
• HDCD is effective only through digital input.
• You may not be able to play some HDCD source
signals from certain CD players if you connect the
player to the unit digitally. This is because the digital
signal has been processed (such as the output level,
sampling frequency or frequency response) and the
unit cannot recognize the signal as HDCD data.
