Listening Mode
This unit is equipped with a variety of listening 
modes, and you can select the optimum 
listening mode for movies, TV, music, and 
games by repeatedly pressing the MOVIE/TV, 
MUSIC, and GAME buttons (c). For details on 
the listening modes, see the Advanced Manual. 
This section introduces some of the popular 
modes.
Dolby Digital/DTS modes
When the input signal is a digital surround 
format such as Dolby Digital or DTS, you can 
select the listening mode that suits the input 
signal. Dolby Digital is displayed for Dolby 
Digital and DTS-HD Master Audio is displayed 
for DTS-HD Master Audio. The output is Stereo 
for 2-channel input signals.
Direct
This listening mode can be selected for all input 
signals. It shuts down processing that affects 
sound quality to deliver a playback sound quality 
closer to sources. Speakers play the sound field 
according to the number of channels in the input 
signal, so there would be output from only the 
front speakers for a 2 ch signal, for example.
Dolby Surround/DTS Neural:X
These listening modes allow you to expand the 
playback signal to 5.1 channels or 7.1 channels 
to suit the connected speaker configuration 
when the input signal is 2 channels or 
5.1 channels.
0 We plan to provide support for the DTS 
Neural:X a firmware update for this unit. You 
can select Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music 
until the update.
THX surround modes
Multiple surround speakers are installed in 
movie theaters so that the moviegoer is 
enveloped in a natural surround sound. Even 
with just two surround speakers, the THX 
Cinema mode achieves, with the high-quality 
technology developed by THX, the same kind of 
breadth of sound you would get in a movie 
theater along with the natural flow of timbre with 
the sound field towards the front. Also available 
are modes such as THX Music and THX 
Surround EX.
Original surround modes
You can select listening modes such as the All 
Ch Stereo mode where a stereo image is played 
from both the front and the rear, and Orchestra 
(only with the MUSIC button) which is best for 
playback of classical and opera pieces.
Pure Audio
Listening mode that provides purer sound 
quality by switching off the power of the display 
and analog video circuits.
The listening mode last selected for the source 
is remembered for each of the MOVIE/TV, 
MUSIC, and GAME buttons. If content you play 
is not supported by the listening mode you 
selected last, the listening mode that is standard 
for that content is selected automatically.
