Surround modes
7 Reproducing theater ambience
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to
reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you
from all directions.
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound
movement can be expressed.
Surround modes built in this system can create almost the
same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie
theater.
Movie Theater This system activates a variety of Surround modes and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes. To use Surround or DSP modes
properly, speakers required for creating each Surround and DSP mode should be activated.

7 Introducing the Surround modes
Dolby Surround
Dolby Digital EX*
Best used to reproduce multi-channel movie soundtracks of
the software encoded with Dolby Digital EX ( 
 ).
Dolby Digital EX is a newly introduced surround encoding
format as an extension of multi-channel Dolby Digital,
designed to add an extra surround channel to Dolby Digital
5.1-channel (see below). By using a matrix encoding/
decoding method, additional “surround back” channel signal
is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround
channel signals.
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1-channel, this
newly added surround back channel can reproduce more
detailed movements behind you while viewing the video
software. In addition, surround sound localization will become
more stable, so that you can enjoy a realistic surround field in
your listening room.
• When Dolby Digital EX is activated, the 
 DIGITAL EX and
SURROUND indicators light up on the display.
Dolby Digital*
Used to reproduce multi-channel soundtracks of the software
encoded with Dolby Digital (
DIGITAL ).
Dolby Digital 5.1-channel encoding method (so-called
discrete 5.1-channel digital audio format) records and
digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel,
center channel, left surround channel, right surround
channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but LFE
channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore, called 5.1-
channel).
Since each channel is completely independent from the other
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain a much
better sound quality with better stereo and surround effects.
• When Dolby Digital is activated, the 
 DIGITAL and
SURROUND indicators light up on the display.
*Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two
categories—multi-channel (up to 5.1-channel) and 2-channel
software. To enjoy surround sound while playing Dolby
Digital 2-channel software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel
playback format to convert all 2-channel source including
Dolby Surround into 5-channel (plus subwoofer)
reproduction.
Matrix-based conversion method for Dolby Pro Logic II
makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround
treble and enables stereo surround sound unavailable with
conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II can reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal
colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music
mode.
Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for the
reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded software bearing
the mark (
DOLBY SURROUND). You can enjoy a sound field very
close to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel sounds.
Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for the
reproduction of any 2-channel stereo software. You can
enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode.
• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the 
 PRO LOGIC II
and SURROUND indicators light up on the display.
Dolby Pro Logic (Dolby Surround)*
Used to reproduce soundtracks of the software encoded
with Dolby Surround (
DOLBY SURROUND).
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front
channel, right front channel, center channel, and surround
channel signal (total 4 channels) into 2 channels.
The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system decodes
these 2-channel signal into original 4-channel signals—
matrix-based multi-channel reproduction, and allows you to
enjoy a realistic surround sound in your listening room.
• When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the  
 PRO LOGIC
and SURROUND indicators light up on the display.

DTS Surround
DTS-ES (Extended Surround)**
Used to reproduce multi-channel movie soundtracks of the
software encoded with DTS-ES (
 ).
DTS-ES is another new digital surround encoding format,
developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., that adds the
third surround channel—surround back channel. (See “Dolby
Digital EX” on page 27)
DTS ES has two types—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1-channel and
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1-channel.
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1-channel—has been designed to
encode (and decode) 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid
interference between each channel.
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1-channel—has been designed to add an
extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel.
By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, additional
“surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in
both the left and right surround channel signals.
• When DTS-ES is activated, the 
 and SURROUND
indicators light up on the display.
DTS Digital Surround**
Used to reproduce multi-channel soundtracks of the software
encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( 
 ).
DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1-channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround format has
a lower audio compression ratio which enables it to add
breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS
Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.
• When DTS Digital Surround is activated, the 
 and
SURROUND indicators light up on the display.
NEO:6**
Neo:6 is a newly developed conversion method to create
6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel
source and DTS Digital Surround source.
Neo:6 has two modes—Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music:
Neo:6 Cinema—suitable for reproduction of surround
encoded software.
Neo:6 Music—suitable for reproduction of music software.
• When NEO:6 is activated, the SURROUND indicator lights
up on the display.
• DTS Digital Surround can be converted into 6.1-channel
using NEO:6 (see page 24).

DSP modes
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of
direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and
reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener
directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect
sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls
(see the diagram below). These direct and indirect sounds
are the most important elements of the acoustic surround
effects.
The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by
adding these indirect sounds.
• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator
lights up on the display.
Reflections from
behind
Early reflections
Direct sounds
You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a
more acoustic sound field in your listening room.
THEATER:Reproduces the sound field of a theater .
HALL:Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a large
concert hall.
LIVE CLUB:Gives the feeling of a live music club with a
low ceiling.
DANCE CLUB:Gives a throbbing bass beat.
PAVILION:Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with
a high ceiling.
All Channel Stereo
All Channel Stereo (ALL CH ST.) can reproduce a larger
stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated)
speakers.
All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround
speakers are connected to the center unit.
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator
lights up on the display.
