Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music
This mode decodes 2 channel signals into 6 channel
signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology.
The DTS Neo:6 decoder has near-discrete properties
in the frequency characteristics of the channels as well
as in channel separation.
According to the signals to be played back, DTS Neo:6
uses either the Neo:6 Cinema mode optimized for
movie playback or the Neo:6 Music mode optimized
for music playback.
Note:
The Neo:6 mode is available for 2 channel input
signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD
or PCM format.
MULTI CH. (MOVIE, MUSIC)
This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more
natural soundstage from two channel source material.
This is done by feeding the left channel signal to
both the left front and left surround speakers and the
right channel signal to both the right front and right
surround speakers. Additionally, the center channel
reproduces a mix of the right and left channels.
CIRCLE SURROUND
II
(CS
II
-CINEMA, CS
II
-MUSIC, CS
II
-MONO)
Circle Surround is designed to enable multichannel
surround sound playback of non-encoded and
multichannel encoded material.
Backward compatibility provides listeners with up to
6.1 channels of surround performance from an entire
collection of music and fi lm, including broadcast,
videotape and stereo recorded music.
Depending on source material, you can select CSII-
Cinema mode, CSII-Music mode or CSII-Mono
mode.
Note:
• The CS II mode is available for 2 channel input
signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital, HDCD
or PCM format.
Dolby Virtual Speaker
Dolby Virtual Speaker technology uses proprietary
technology of Dolby Laboratories to create a virtual
surround sound fi eld using only two speakers for the
front channels, allowing the user to experience sound
as if surround speakers were actually being used.
STEREO
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
In 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 channels
are converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz PCM
source material can be played back in stereo mode.
CAUTION
Notes for DTS
To connected DVD player, laserdisc 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 SR6001 digitally. This
is because the digital signal has been processed
(such as the output level, sampling frequency or
frequency response), and the SR6001 cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data.
• Depending on the player used, DTS play may
produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.
• While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are
playing in another surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to analog
input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU
or by pressing the A/D button.
• You can not listen to DTS-encoded software in a
multiroom.
The outputs for VCR OUT, TAPE OUT and CD-R
OUT output analog audio signals only. 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.
Notes or Dolby Digital Surround EX
When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the
EX/ES mode.
Note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software does not contain the identifi cation signal.
In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually.
Notes for 96 kHz/192 kHz PCM audio
The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be
used when playing PCM signals with a sampling
frequency of 96/192 kHz (such as from DVD-Video/
Audio discs).
Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For
details, refer to the player’s operation manual.
Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When using
such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal are not output from the
DVD player. For details, refer to the player’s operation
manual.
Notes for HDCD
HDCD is effective only through digital input.
You may not be able to play some HDCD source
signals from certain CD players if you connect
the player to the SR6001 digitally. This is because
the digital signal has been processed (such as
the output level, sampling frequency or frequency
response) and the SR6001 cannot recognize the
signal as HDCD data.
