About the Listening Modes
 
With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP pro-
grams, the AV receiver can transform your home listen-
ing room into a movie theater or concert hall.
If you connect two surround back speakers (i.e., left and 
right), both will be used for 6.1-channel surround play-
back.
 
Direct
 
The selected input source is output by the front left and 
right speakers only, with minimal processing for a pure 
sound.
 
Pure Audio
 
As an extension of Direct mode, this mode turns off the 
display, turns off the power to the video circuitry, and 
minimizes any other possible noise sources, providing a 
high fidelity sound that’s true to the original. (Since the 
power to the video circuitry is turned off, no video sig-
nals are output while this mode is selected.)
 
Stereo
 
The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal 
and output by the front left and right speakers and the 
subwoofer. 
 
Mono
 or
 
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono 
soundtrack, or to select multilingual soundtracks 
recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. 
It can also be used when playing a DVD or other source 
with multiplexed audio, such as a karaoke DVD.
 
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
 or
 
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround 
sound even with only two or three speakers. This works 
by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and 
right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too 
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode 
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.
 
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie
 
Use this mode with DVDs and vid-
eos that bear the Dolby Surround 
logo or TV programs that feature Dolby Surround. You 
can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV pro-
grams and the AV receiver will create a 5.1 surround mix 
from the 2-channel stereo.
 
Dolby Pro Logic II Music
 
Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such 
as music CDs and DVDs.
 
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
 
If you’ve connected surround back speakers to the AV 
receiver, Dolby Pro Logic IIx allows you to enjoy 7.1-
channel playback from 2-channel or 5.1-channel music 
or movies. Dolby Pro Logic IIx provides a well defined, 
natural multichannel surround-sound experience, put-
ting the listener in a seamless envelope of sound. The 
added drama and natural sound enhance the listening 
experience with CDs, movies, and games. 
Dolby Pro Logic IIx has three modes of operation: 
Movie mode for movies, Music mode for listening to 
music, and Game mode for use with games consoles 
with 2-channel stereo outputs.
 
Dolby Digital
 
With this format you can experience the 
same superb sound that you get at a movie 
theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that 
bear the Dolby Digital logo.
 
Dolby Digital EX
 
With an added surround-back channel, 
this 6.1 channel format offers a heightened 
sense of space, for added realism with moving sounds, 
such as those that rotate 360 degrees or pass overhead. 
Dolby Digital EX material can also be played on conven-
tional 5.1 channel systems, in which case the surround-
back channel audio is split between the surround left and 
right channels. Use this mode with DVDs that have a 
5.1-channel soundtrack and bear the Dolby Digital logo.
 
DTS
 
This digital surround format offers a sur-
round sound experience with exceptional 
fidelity. It uses compressed digital audio 
data, with six discrete channels (5.1), and the 
ability to handle large amounts of audio data while 
remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides very 
high-quality sound. You’ll need a DTS compatible DVD 
player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode 
with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS logo.
 
DTS 96/24
 
This mode provides higher audio quality. 
Use it with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear 
the DTS 96/24 logo.
 
DTS-ES Discrete
 
This is DTS with an added surround back 
channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it with 
program material recorded in DTS 6.1 format. With the 
additional surround back channel, this format offers 6.1 
fully independent digital channels, providing a realistic 
sense of movement and space. Use it with program mate-
rial recorded in DTS 6.1, such as CDs, DVDs, or LDs 
that bear the DTS-ES logo.
The AV receiver’s surround indicators show which 
speakers are active in each listening mode.
