Listening Mode
This unit is equipped with a variety of listening
modes, and you can select the optimum
listening mode for movies, TV, music, and
games by repeatedly pressing the MOVIE/TV,
MUSIC, and GAME buttons (c). For details on
the listening modes, see the Advanced Manual.
This section introduces some of the popular
modes.
Dolby Digital/DTS modes
When the input signal is a digital surround
format such as Dolby Digital or DTS, you can
select the listening mode that suits the input
signal. Dolby Digital is displayed for Dolby
Digital and DTS-HD Master Audio is displayed
for DTS-HD Master Audio. The output is Stereo
for 2-channel input signals.
Direct
This listening mode can be selected for all input
signals. It shuts down processing that affects
sound quality to deliver a playback sound quality
closer to sources. Speakers play the sound field
according to the number of channels in the input
signal, so there would be output from only the
front speakers for a 2 ch signal, for example.
Dolby Surround/DTS Neural:X
These listening modes allow you to expand the
playback signal to 5.1 channels or 7.1 channels
to suit the connected speaker configuration
when the input signal is 2 channels or
5.1 channels.

We plan to provide support for the DTS
Neural:X a firmware update for this unit. You
can select Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music
until the update.
THX surround modes
Multiple surround speakers are installed in
movie theaters so that the moviegoer is
enveloped in a natural surround sound. Even
with just two surround speakers, the THX
Cinema mode achieves, with the high-quality
technology developed by THX, the same kind of
breadth of sound you would get in a movie
theater along with the natural flow of timbre with
the sound field towards the front. Also available
are modes such as THX Music and THX
Surround EX.
Original surround modes
You can select listening modes such as the All
Ch Stereo mode where a stereo image is played
from both the front and the rear, and Orchestra
(only with the MUSIC button) which is best for
playback of classical and opera pieces.
Pure Audio
Listening mode that provides purer sound
quality by switching off the power of the display
and analog video circuits.
The listening mode last selected for the source
is remembered for each of the MOVIE/TV,
MUSIC, and GAME buttons. If content you play
is not supported by the listening mode you
selected last, the listening mode that is standard
for that content is selected automatically.
