AUDIO SURROUND MODE CHART
MODEFEATURES
Dolby DigitalAvailable only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main
audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency effects channel.
Dolby Digital EXAvailable when the receiver is configured for 6.1/7.1 channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is the latest version of
Dolby Digital. When used with movies or other programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces
specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1/7.1 sound field is available. When the receiver is set for
6.1/7.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is present, the EX mode is automatically selected. Even if specific EX
encoding is not available to provide the additional channel, the special algorithms will derive a 6.1/7.1 output.
DTS 5.1When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is available when DVD,
audio-only music or laser discs encoded with DTS data are played. DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main
audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency channel.
DTS-ES 6.1 When the speaker configuration is set for 6.1/7.1 operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program source will
Matrixautomatically trigger the selection of one of the two DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete DTS-ES modes. Newer discs with
Discretespecial DTS-ES discrete encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth channels plus a
separate low-frequency channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrix mode, which
creates a 6.1-channel sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.
Dolby Pro Logic IIDolby Pro Logic II decodes full-range, discrete, left, center right, right surround and left surround channels from
Musiceither matrix surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo sources when an analog input is in use. The
MovieDolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks, while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be
Pro Logicused with musical selections. The Pro Logic mode re-creates original Pro Logic processing for those who prefer
that presentation.
Dolby Pro Logic IIxDolby Pro Logic IIx is the latest extension of Dolby Pro Logic II technology that creates a discrete 6.1 and 7.1
Musicsound field from matrix surround or two-channel stereo sources in systems configured for surround back
Moviespeakers. Both Movie and Music versions of Pro Logic IIx are available.
Logic 7 CinemaLogic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded
Logic 7 Musicprograms or conventional stereo material. When the system speaker configuration has been set for 6.1/7.1
Logic 7 Enhanceoperation, you may choose between either 7.1 or 5.1 versions of the Logic 7 modes, while only the 5.1 versions
are available for 5.1-channel systems. The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode should be used with any source that contains Dolby
Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers increased center channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement
of sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques.
The Logic 7 M or Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening
experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency
or Enhance
available only when the 5.1 option is chosen, is an extension of the Logic 7 modes that is primarily used with musical
programs. Logic 7 adds additional bass enhancement which circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz range to the
front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears broader and wider than when the subwoofer
is the sole source of bass energy. The CVR700 features 96kHz-capable Logic 7 processing, for improved imaging and
accuracy when used with 96kHz source materials.
DTS Neo:6 CinemaThese two modes are available with analog sources playing to create a three-channel, five-channel or
DTS Neo:6 Musicsix-channel surround presentation from matrix-encoded or stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of Neo:6
when a program with matrix surround encoding is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6 for optimal
processing when a nonencoded, two-channel stereo program is being played.
TheaterThe Theater mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a standard live-performance theater.
Hall 1, Hall 2Hall 2
5-Channel StereoThese modes take advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room.
7-Channel StereoThey place the same signal at the front-left and surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers.
The center channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.
SurroundThis mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-channel presentation of
Off (Stereo)two-channel stereo programs.
