Table 6 – Surround Modes (Continued)
Surround Mode Description Incoming Bitstream or Signal
DTS Neo:6 Depending on the number of speakers in your system, select 3- or 5-channel • DTS-ES Matrix
Cinema modes, enhanced for movie or video presentations. • DTS-ES Discrete
• Analog (2-channel)
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
DTS Neo:6 Available only in 5-channel mode, creates a surround presentation suitable • DTS-ES Matrix
Music for music recordings. • DTS-ES Discrete
• Analog (2-channel)
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
Logic 7 Exclusive to Harman Kardon, Logic 7 enhances 2-channel recordings by deriving See below.
separate information for the surround back channels. This provides more accurate
placement of sound, improves panning and expands the sound field, even when
used with 5.1-channel systems. Logic 7 uses 96kHz processing. Three variants
are available.
Logic 7 Especially suited to 2-channel sources containing Dolby Surround or • Analog (2-channel)
Cinema matrix encoding, Logic 7 Cinema mode increases center channel intelligibility. • Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Logic 7 The AVR 147 is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for • Analog (2-channel)
Music 2-channel signals. Logic 7 Music mode is well suited to conventional • Tuner
2-channel music recordings. • PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Logic 7 Logic 7 Enhance circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz – 120Hz range to • Analog (2-channel)
Enhance the main speakers for less localized bass performance than would be achieved • Tuner
solely with a subwoofer. Enhance mode is best used with music recordings. • PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Hall 1 Hall 1 is a DSP (digital signal processor) mode that simulates a small • Analog (2-channel)
concert hall. • Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
Hall 2 Simulates a medium-sized concert hall. • Analog (2-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
Theater Simulates a live-performance theater. • Analog (2-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
5-Channel Stereo Useful for parties, the left- and right-channel information is played through • Analog (2-channel)
both the front and surround speakers on each side, while the center speaker • Tuner
plays a summed mono mix. • PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
DSP Surround Off Turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-channel signal. • Analog (2-channel)
The signal is digitized and bass management settings are applied, making it • Tuner
appropriate when a subwoofer is used. • PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Surround Off Maintains an analog input signal in that form, bypassing all digital processing Analog (2-channel)
(Analog Bypass) (i.e., surround and bass management). Requires TONE OUT setting. Tuner
