Playing modes for different sources
The AVR-4800 is equipped with many surround modes. We recommend using the surround modes as described below in order to achieve the
maximum effect for the specific signal source.
2 ch sources recorded in Dolby Surround
Sources recorded in stereo
Sources recorded in monaural
• Maximum performance for playing movies on the AVR-4800.
• We recommend these for sources consisting mostly of music.
Dolby Digital EX
or
DTS Surround ES
Dolby Digital
or
DTS Surround
Recorded sources
THX SURROUND EX
DOLBY 6.1 / DTS (ES)
• Effective for 2-channel sources recorded in Dolby Surround or
for 7.1-channel playback with 5.1-channel sources.
WIDE SCREEN
• This mode is optimized for playing 5.1-channel movies.
• For sources recorded in Dolby Surround as well, this mode
provides the same power as with 5.1-channel sources.
HOME THX CINEMA
• This mode is optimized for playing 5.1-channel music.
• For sources recorded in Dolby Surround, the playing mode is
automatically set to Dolby Pro Logic.
DOLBY DIGITAL / DTS SURROUND
• Effective for achieving pure playback
• If there is no need for tone control or distribution of the low
frequencies in function of the speaker configuration, select the
DIRECT mode to achieve the best sound quality.
DIRECT / STEREO
• Select these for 7.1-channel playback with sources recorded
in stereo or monaural.
• The effects are different for each of the surround modes.
Select the one most suited for the source being used.
DENON Original Surround Modes (see page 53)
5.1 ch sources
is a 6.1-channel/7.1-channel surround mode.
• Though we recommend selecting the surround mode as described above, other surround modes can also be selected.
THX Surround EX / Home THX Cinema mode
When the HOME THX CINEMA button is pressed, the surround back speaker setting on the “Speaker Configuration” screen switches as follows:
THX SURROUND EX
HOME THX CINEMA
DOLBY DIGITAL
(DOLBY PROLOGIC)
or
DTS SURROUND
