DTS 5.1 When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is Delay time not adjustable
available when DVD, audio-only music or laserdiscs encoded with DTS data are played.
DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated
low-frequency channel.
DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix When the speaker configuration is set for 6.1/7.1 operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program Delay time not adjustable
DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete source will automatically trigger the selection of one of the two DTS-ES modes.Newer discs with
special DTS-ES discrete encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth channels
plus a separate low-frequency channel.All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrix
mode, which creates a 6.1-channel sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.
DOLBYPRO LOGICII Dolby Pro Logic II is the latest version of Dolby Laboratory’s benchmark surround technology Movie and Emulation:
MOVIE that decodes full-range,discrete left, center right,right surround and left surround channels 10 ms - 25 ms,
MUSIC from matrix surround encoded programs and conventional stereo sources when Initial Setting - 10 ms,
EMULATION an analog input is in use.The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks Music:
that are recorded with matrix surround, by creating separate center,rear left and rear right signals. 0 ms - 15 ms,
while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with musical selections that are recorded with Initial Setting - 0 ms
matrix surround or even with normal stereo mode, creating separate rear left and rear right signals

Logic 7 Cinema Exclusive to Harman Kardon for AV receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the Delay time not adjustable
Logic 7 Music maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo
Logic 7 Enhance material.Depending on the number of speakers in use and the selection made in the SURROUND
SELECT menu,the “5.1”versions of Logic 7 modes are available when the 5.1 option is chosen,
while the “7.1” versions of Logic 7 produce a full sound field presentation, including back surround
speakers when the “6.1/7.1” option is chosen.The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode should be used
with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers
increased center-channel intelligibility,and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans
that are much smoother and more realistic than with former decoding techniques.The Logic 7 M or
Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening
experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes
also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver
maximum bass impact.The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode is an extension of the Logic 7 modes that is
primarily used with musical programs and is available with the 5.1 surround mode option selected
only. Logic 7 E adds additional bass enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz
range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears broader
and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.
DTS Neo:6 Cinema These two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a six-channel Delay time not adjustable
DTS Neo:6 Music surround presentation from conventional Matrix-encoded and traditional Stereo sources. Select
the Cinema version of Neo:6 when a program with any type of analog Matrix surround encoding
is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6 for optimal processing when a nonencoded,
two-channel stereo program is being played.
DOLBY 3 STEREO Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to No surround channels
create center-channel information. In addition,the information that is normally sent to the
rear-channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front-left and front-right
channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center-channel speaker
but no surround speakers.
THEATER The THEATER mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a Delay time not adjustable
standard live performance theater,with stereo and even pure mono sources.
