Foundation 4K UHD Processor
The additional processing modes are:
Dolby D 5.1
Dolby D 5.1 + SurEX, Dolby D 5.1 + PLIIx Movie, and Dolby D 5.1 + PLIIx Music
Dolby D 5.1 + SurEX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a
matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best results, Dolby
Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. All modes listed under
Dolby Digital EX, including the default mode you have selected, can be accessed using the Mode button.
Dolby Digital 2.0
Dolby D + PLIIx Movie and Dolby D + PLIIx Music
DTS 5.1
DTS 5.1 Movie and DTS 5.1 Music
PCM and analog modes
A variety of audio modes can be applied to conventional digital and analog signals. The processing modes are:
PREAMP
Select Preamp mode for listening to analog stereo signals with the Foundation 4K UHD operating as an analog
stereo preamplifier. Preamp mode bypasses the Foundation 4K UHD’s digital circuitry and sends signals from the
balanced or single-ended inputs directly to the analog stereo outputs.
STEREO
Select Stereo mode for conventional stereo signals. Use this mode to listen to conventional stereo digital signals
through the left and right speakers. If a crossover is set for the left and right speakers, the Foundation will send
frequencoes above the crossover point to the left and right speakers and frequencies below the crossover point to
the subwoofer.
FULL RANGE + SUB
Select Full Range + Sub to play two channel content using the left and right speakers plus the subwoofer. This mode
will ignore any crossover configurations and send full range signal to the left and right speakers plus low frequencies
to the subwoofer(s).
DOLBY PLIIx MOVIE
The movie mode is the improved counterpart to the original Pro Logic decoder. It is the choice for the majority of
Dolby Surround encoded material.
DOLBY PLIIx MUSIC
The music mode is for use with unencoded stereo music recordings. The music mode features dimension and center
width controls, see PLII Control, on page XX, to enhance the music surround experience.
DTS Neo:6
DTS Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of information from stereo encoded material. 7.1 and 6.1 systems
will derive six channels from the signal while 5.1 systems will derive five channels from the signal. DTS Neo:6
includes two modes: DTS NEO:6 CINEMA for two channel matrixed movie material and DTS NEO:6 MUSIC for
stereo encoded music material.
Additionally, the Krell Music Surround Modes simulate different soundfield experiences when listening to music. The
table below lists the modes and the speakers that operate within each mode:
