Studio-Mix

Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).
Dolby Digital + Neo:6 DTS+Neo:6
This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital or DTS logo and feature a 5.1-channel soundtrack.
Neural Surround (North American models only)
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound eld with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Neural Surround represents the latest advancement in surround technology developed for music and is adopted by XM Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcast of surround recordings and live events in surround sound. Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequencydomain processing, which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements. System playback is scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multichannel surround playback.
Ideal for background music, this mode lls the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround back speakers.

Full Mono

In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional) or
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listeners left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if theres too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources. Notes: The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded. Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded. You cannot record from the DVD analog multichannel input. Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer to the manuals supplied with your digital recording equipment for more details. Digital signals received at COAXIAL IN/OPTICAL IN or HDMI IN 1/2 are only output by OPTICAL OUT. However, certain types of digital signal such as DVD-Audio signal input from HDMI IN will not be output. Analog input signals are output by only the analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from digital to analog or vice versa. DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so dont attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs. While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is provided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you want to make recordings, select other listening mode.
