Mini Glossary for Audio Stream
& Surround mode

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high
quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as
discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark.
DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transpar-
ent audio(which means identical to the original masters) and
results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree
sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS
Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS
Technology, LLC.

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital pro-
gram source. If you play DVDs with “

” mark, you can

enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy,
and improved dynamic range.

Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 chan-

nel which carries the “

” mark. This mode provides the

effect of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an
effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the
front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as well as
the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much clear-
er and more dynamic than before.

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output chan-
nels from two-channel sources. This is done using an
advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts
the spatial properties of the original recording without adding
any new sounds or tonal colorations.

MOVIE mode:

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and
all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is
enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality
of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

MUSIC mode:

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings,
and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode
includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individ-
ual listening tastes.

MATRIX mode:

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that
the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used
to enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The
Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the
fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise
cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The
ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to
force the audio to mono.

3D SURROUND

This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D
Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel
audio playback from two conventional stereo speakers
instead of the five or more speakers normally required to lis-
ten to multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This feature
works with DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and
Dolby Digital audio tracks.

BYPASS

Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played
according to the way it was recorded.
