This mode creates 6.1-channel surround from 2-channel 
analog sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels 
with excellent separation. There are two modes of oper-
ation: 

 

 which is suited to movies, and 

 

 which is for listening to music.

• Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of move-

ment that you get with 6.1-channel surround sound 
sources. Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV 
programs that feature stereo sound. 

• Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a 

natural sound field that cannot be produced with con-
ventional stereo. Use this mode with stereo source 
material such as music CDs.

 

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.

 

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 conventional 5.1 channel systems, in which 
case the surround-back channel audio is divided between 
the surround left and right channels. Use this mode with 
DVDs that have a 6.1-channel soundtrack and bear the 
Dolby Digital logo.

 

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 has 
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.

 

This mode provides better audio quality. Use it with 
CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS 96/24 

 

logo.
