This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, 
that use a discrete surround back channel for true 
6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate 
audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-
degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan 
across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear 
the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Dis-
crete soundtrack.

 

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, 
that use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-
channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-
ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix 
soundtrack.

 

This mode expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-chan-
nel playback. It uses seven full-bandwidth channels of 
matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing 
a very natural and seamless surround sound experience 
that fully envelops the listener.

 

Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, 
DVD, VHS).

 

Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g., 
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).

 

This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for 
6.1/7.1-channel playback.

 

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 DTS. It supports up to 7.1 
channels with 96 kHz sampling rate.

 

Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage 
space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for-
mats, this new DTS format offers up to 7.1 discrete chan-
nels of digital audio with 48/96

 

kHz, up to 5.1-channels 

with 192 kHz sampling rate.
For the signals supported by the AV receiver, see 
page 64.

 

This format supports up to 5.1 channels and a lower sam-
pling rate of 48 kHz. Applications include interactive 
audio and commentary encoding for HD DVD Sub 
Audio and Blu-ray Secondary Audio. Also broadcast and 
media servers.

 

DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format 
used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD).
This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multi-
channel audio.

 

This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono 
sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, 
while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other 
speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

 

Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode 
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the 
stereo image and simulates the natural reverberation of a 
large hall.

 

Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this 
mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the 
impression of being right in front of the stage.

 

Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this 
mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acous-
tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

 

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-
duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire 
sound, and clarity to voices.

 

Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis-
tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, 
and surround back speakers.

 

In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in 
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of 
where you are within the listening room.

 

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.
