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
multiroom.
•
The outputs for VCR OUT, TAPE OUT and CD/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 identifi cation 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.

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 fl ag 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.
Notes:
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD
players, performing operations such as skip or stop
may momentarily interrupt the output.
• When the signal is not decoded, the mode is changed
to AUTO mode automatically. See page 68 to
confi rm the available decoding modes.
SOURCE DIRECT
In the Source Direct mode, the tone control circuit
Acoustic EQ. and bass management confi guration
are bypassed for full-range frequency response and
the purist audio reproduction.
Notes:
• Speaker size is set to Front L/R = LARGE, Center =
LARGE, Surround L/R = LARGE and Subwoofer
= YES automatically. Tone controls, equalizer and
additional processing are deactivated.
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD
players, performing operations such as skip or stop
may momentarily interrupt the output.
• In SOURCE DIRECT mode, ACOUSTIC EQ and
M-DAX are not available.
PURE DIRECT
The Pure Direct mode further reduces sources of
noise in addition to effect of the Source Direct mode,
by blocking output from the video jacks (VIDEO,
S-VIDEO, COMPONENT VIDEO and HDMI) and
turning the FL display off.
Note:
• In PURE DIRECT mode, ACOUSTIC EQ and M-
DAX are not available.
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, fi lm 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.
