Surround Mode Selection
One of the most important features of the
is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel sound field
from digital sources analog matrix surround-encoded
programs and standard stereo programs
Selection of a surround mode is based on personal
taste as well as the type of program source material
being used. For example motion pictures or
grams bearing the logo of one of the major surround-
encoding processes such as Dolby Surround or DTS
Stereo may be played in either the Dolby Digital,
Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cinema,
DTS Neo:6 Cinema, or Logic 7 Cinema surround
modes depending on the source material.
NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with matrix
surround information, it retains the surround information
as long as the program is available in stereo Thus
movies with surround sound may be decoded via any
of the analog surround modes such as Pro Logic II or
IIx Cinema, Logic 7 Cinema or DTS Neo:6 Cinema,
when they are broadcast via conventional
cable pay-TV and satellite transmission. Also a growing
number of
dramas are also recorded in surround sound.
Even when a program is not listed as carrying intentional
surround information, you may find that the Pro Logic II,
Logic 7 Enhanced or DTS Neo:6, VMAx and the Hall or
Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround pre-
sentations through the use of the natural information
present in all stereo recordings
Surround modes may be changed at any time by
using either the front panel or remote control. T
select a new surround mode from the front panel, first
press the Surround Mode Group Selector Button
2 until the desired major surround mode group such

the button for the surround mode group that includes
the mode you wish to choose: Dolby h, DTS
Digital g, DTS Neo:6 e, Logic 7 f, Stereo
d or DSP Surround f . The first press of the
button will show the current mode from that group if it
is already in use or the first available mode if you are
currently using another mode T
