Each time the SURROUND button is pressed, the
surround mode is changed as follows :
Select the appropriate surround mode according to
the program source.
•When a Dolby Digital format signal is input, the
surround mode automatically switches to the
DOLBY DIGITAL mode.
•When you press the SURROUND button, the
sound and output signals (digital and analog) are
cut off for a moment.
•It is recommended to use a center speaker when

PRO LOGIC II(PRO LOGIC IIx) Surround modes.
•Note that surround speakers are necessary for
DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS/DOLBY PRO LOGIC II(PRO
LOGIC IIx) mode to function, and a Back Surround
speaker is needed for the HALL, CINEMA,
CONCERT, DTS NEO: 6, DTS ES and DOLBY
DIGITAL EX mode to function.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 the system without
surround back speaker(s).DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel
digital signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with
the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES
Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree
surround impression and space expression thanks to
further expanded surround signals. This format has
been used professionally in movie theaters since
1999.
In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C,
SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also
offers the SB (Surround Back) channel for surround
playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES
Extended Surround includes two signal formats with
different surround signal recording methods, as DTS-
ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.
“DTS”, “DTS-ES”, “Neo:6” and “DTS 96/24” are
trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
NEO: 6 Cinema, NEO:6 Music
This mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6-channel
signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology.
The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties
in the frequency characteristics of the channels as
well as in channel separation.
According to the signals to by played back, DTS
NEO:6 uses either the NEO:6 CINEMA mode
optimized for movie playback or the NEO:6 MUSIC
mode optimized for music playback.
Notes :
•Neo:6 mode is available to 2ch input signal which
is encodedDolby Digital or PCM format.
•PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic
processing when the sampling frequency is 32kHz,
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II(PRO LOGIC IIx)
SURROUNDDOLBY PRO LOGIC IIbrings the excitement of
surround sound to any stereo mix, while making
existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more like
discrete 5.1 channels Surround sound.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIxis an extension of DOLBY
PRO LOGIC IItechnology. This highly sophisticated
algorithm processes native stereo and 5.1-channel
content to produce 6.1 or 7.1 output channels. And
DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIxis not available in the system
without surround Back Speaker(s).
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II(PRO LOGIC IIx) has below 3
modes.
Note :
•DOLBY PRO LOGIC II(PRO LOGIC IIx) will not
work on monaural source.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II(PRO LOGIC IIx) MUSIC
The Music mode creates a rich and enveloping
surround ambience.......delivered to the subwoofer,
optimizing the visceral of panned rear effects. This
mode can only be used with 2-channel audio sources.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II(PRO LOGIC IIx) CINEMA
The CINEMA mode is optimized for movies or
programs with Dolby Surround soundtracks. This
mode is also appropriate for use with video game.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II(PRO LOGIC IIx) GAME
The Game mode was implemented to ensure that the
bass impact from pure surround effects are fully
delivered to the subwoofer, optimizing the visceral of
panned rear effects. This mode can only be used with
2-channel audio sources.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC
This mode emulated original Dolby Pro Logic
decoding.(3/1 surround) Suit for Dolby Surround
encoded stereo movie soundtracks. This mode is
available in the system without surround speaker(s).
This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such
as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD. Neo:6 is to some 2
channel signal source.
DTS :
This mode is enabled when playing source
materials encoded in DTS multi channel.
Playing multi-channel encoded 5.1 - channel DTS
sources provides five main audio channels (left,
center, right, surround left and surround right ) and
Low Frequency Effect channel.

OTHER SURROUND
HALL
When playing recordings of live music, this mode
provides a feeling similar to actually being in a concert
hall.
When this mode is selected, the normal program
source is directed to the main speakers and a
reverberated sound is directed to the surround
speakers.
This mode is suited to program sources which contain
a large amount of reverberation.
CINEMA
This mode provides a three dimensional surround
effect similar to that of movie theater. With this mode,
you can enjoy a surround effect similar to Dolby
Surround sound even when playing a video program
which is not encoded with the Dolby Surround
system.
CONCERT
The reverberation of this mode produces a sound field
which recreates the sound of a stadium.
5 STEREO, 6 STEREO or 7 STEREO
The Front left channel signals are output to the
surround and surround back signal left channels,the
front right channel signals are output to the surround
and surround back signal right channels, and the in-
phase component of rhe left and right channels is
output to the center channel.
Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.
STEREO
