The relation between the selected surround
mode and the input signal
The surround mode is selected with the surround
mode knob on SR4400 or the remote control unit.
However, the sound you hear is subject to the
relationship between the selected surround mode
and input signal. That relationship is as next page;
CIRCLE SURROUND
II
(CS
II
-CINEMA, CS
II
-
MUSIC, CS
II
-MONO)
Circle Surround is designed to enable multi-
channel surround sound playback of non-encoded
and multi-channel encoded material.
Backward compatibility provides listeners with up
to 6.1 channels of surround performance from
entire collection of music and film, including
broadcast, videotape and stereo recorded music.
Regarding to source material, you can select CSII-
Cinema mode, CSII-Music mode or CSII-Mono
mode.
Note:
• PCM-audio (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and
analog source material can playback in this mode.
VIRTUAL
This mode creates a virtualized surround sound
experience from a two-speaker (front L and R)
playback system playing any multi-channel audio
source (such as found on DVDs and digital
broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro
Logic or DTS.
DSP SURROUND (MOVIE, HALL, STADIUM,
MATRIX)
These modes provide surround effect processing
from each input source material.
They will produce theater, concert hall and stadium
like atmospheres. Select as your taste desires.
Note:
• When using the remote control, press the numeric
button 6 (DSP) to change the surround effect.
• PCM-audio (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) and
analog source material can playback in this mode.
STEREO
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
Stereo program sources the left and right channels
play normally when PCM-audio or analog stereo is
input.
With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 multi-
channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96
kHz PCM source material can be playback in
stereo mode.
S (SOURCE ) - DIRECT
In the source direct mode, the tone control circuit
and bass management configuration are bypassed
for full range frequency response and the purist
audio reproduction.
96 kHz PCM source material can be play back in
this mode.
Notes:
• Internal speaker size is setup to front L/R = Large,
Center = Large, Surround L/R = Large and
Subwoofer = yes automatically. Tone controls
and additional processing are also defeated.
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD
players, performing operations such as “Skip” or
“Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.
CAUTION
NOTE for DTS signal
* Connected DVD-player, laser-disc player or CD-
player needs to support DTS-digital output. You
may not be able to play some DTS source
signals from certain CD players and LD players
even if you connect the player to the SR4400
digitally. This is because the digital signal has
been processed (such as the output level,
sampling frequency, or frequency response)
and the SR4400 cannot recognize the signal as
DTS data.
* Depending on the player used, DTS play may
produce short noise. This is not a malfunction. In
such cases, select the surround mode the “DTS”
or “DTS-ES”.
* While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD are
playing in another Surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to
analog input by INPUT SETUP in SETUP MAIN
MENU or A/D button.
* The outputs for the VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2
OUT, TAPE OUT, and CD-R OUT output analog
audio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs
that support DTS using these outputs. If you do,
the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as
noise.
NOTE for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal
* When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-
encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required
to set the EX/ES mode.
* Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround EX-
encoded software does not contain the
identification signal. In this case, set the EX/ES
mode manually.
NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio
* AUTO, Source- DIRECT, and STEREO modes
can be used when playing PCM signals with a
sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from
DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz
audio). If such signals are input during playback
in one of the other surround modes, output from
SR4400 will be muted.
* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output.
For details, refer to the player’s operation
manual.
* Some DVD formatted discs featured copy
protection. When using such disc, 96 kHz PCM
signal is not output from the DVD player. For
details, refer to the player's operation manual.
