Using the Listening Modes
 
—Continued
 
The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your 
listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with 
high fidelity and stunning surround sound.
 
Direct
 
In this mode, audio from the input source is output 
directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidel-
ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are 
output as they are.
 
Stereo
 
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and 
subwoofer.
 
Mono
 
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono 
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language 
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of 
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other 
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke 
DVDs.
 
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro Logic II
 
Dolby Pro Logic IIx 
 
expands any 2-channel source for 
7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and 
seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops 
the listener. As well as music and movies, video games 
can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and 
vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back 
speakers, 
 
Dolby Pro Logic II
 
 will be used instead of 
Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
 
Dolby PLIIx Movie
 
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround 
(Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).
 
Dolby PLIIx Music
 
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround 
(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, 
TV, VHS, DVD).
 
Dolby PLIIx Game
 
Use this mode with video games, especially those 
that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.
 
Dolby Digital
 
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital 
logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most 
common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you 
right in the middle of the action, just like being in a 
movie theater or concert hall.
 
5.1-channel source + Dolby EX
 
These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-
channel playback. They’re especially suited to Dolby EX 
soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround 
back channel. The additional channel adds an extra 
dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound 
experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects.
 
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Music
 
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode 
to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play-
back.
 
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Movie
 
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode 
to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.
 
Dolby Digital Plus
 
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video 
disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul-
tichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1 
channels with 48kHz sampling rate.
 
Dolby TrueHD
 
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage 
space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for-
mats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete 
channels of digital audio with 48/96
 
 
 
kHz, up to 5.1-chan-
nels with 192 kHz sampling rate.
For the signals supported by the AV receiver, see 
page 63.
 
DTS
 
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to 
5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-
fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that 
bear the DTS logo.
 
DTS 96/24
 
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is 
high-resolution DTS with a 96kHz sampling rate and 24-
bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with 
DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.
