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.

 

In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned 
off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in 
high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is 
turned off, no video signals are output in this mode.)

 

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.

 

Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and 
subwoofer.

 

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.

 

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, 

 

 will be used instead of 

Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

 

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround 
(Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

 

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

 

Use this mode with video games, especially those that 
bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

 

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.

 

These modes expand 5.1-channel Dolby 
Digital and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-chan-
nel playback. They’re especially suited to 
Dolby Digital EX soundtracks that include 
a matrix-encoded surround back channel. The additional 
channel adds an extra dimension and provides an envel-
oping surround sound experience, perfect for rotating 
and fly-by sound effects. Use them with DVDs that bear 
the Dolby Digital or DTS logo.

 

These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Music 
mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital 
and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play-
back. Use them with Dolby Digital or 
DTS 5.1 music sources (e.g., DVD and Dolby Digital TV 
broadcasts).

 

These modes use the Pro Logic IIx Movie 
mode to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital 
and DTS sources for 7.1-channel play-
back. Use them with Dolby Digital and 
DTS 5.1 movies (e.g., DVD and select digital TV broad-
casts).

 

The DTS digital surround-sound format supports 
up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less com-
pression for high-fidelity reproduction. Use it 
with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

 

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 
sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a 
96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing 
superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 
96/24 logo.

 

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete 
soundtracks, which use a discrete surround 
back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The 
seven totally separate audio channels provide better spa-
tial 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 Discrete soundtrack.
