Surround: 0 - 30ft / 9mInitial Setting: 10ft / 3mDOLBY DIGITAL EX Available when the receiver is configured for 6.1/7.1 channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is the Center: 0 - 30ft / 9mlatest version of Dolby Digital. When used with movies or other programs that have special Initial Setting: 12ft / 3.6mencoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1/7.1 Surround: 0 - 30ft / 9msoundfield is available. When the receiver is set for 6.1/7.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is Initial Setting: 10ft / 3mpresent, the EX mode is automatically selected. Even if specific EX encoding is not available to Surround Back: 0 - 30ft / 9mprovide the additional channel, the special algorithms will derive a 6.1/7.1 output. Initial Setting: 10ft / 3mDTS 5.1 When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is Delay time not adjustableavailable when DVD, audio-only music or laserdiscs encoded with DTS data are played.DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicatedlow-frequency channel.DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix When the speaker configuration is set for 6.1/7.1 operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program Delay time not adjustableDTS-ES 6.1 Discrete source will automatically trigger the selection of one of the two DTS-ES modes. Newer discs withspecial DTS-ES discrete encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth channelsplus a separate low-frequency channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrixmode, which creates a 6.1-channel sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.DOLBY PRO LOGIC II Dolby Pro Logic II is the latest version of Dolby Laboratory’s benchmark surround technology Center: 0 - 30ft / 9mMOVIE that decodes full-range, discrete left, center right, right surround and left surround channels Initial Setting: 12ft / 3.6mMUSIC from matrix surround encoded programs and conventional stereo sources when Surround: 0 - 30ft / 9mEMULATION an analog input or a digital input with PCM or Dolby Digital 2.0 recordings is in use. The Initial Setting: 10ft / 3mDolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks that are recorded with matrixsurround, by creating separate center, rear left and rear right signals. while the Pro Logic II Musicmode should be used with musical selections that are recorded with matrix surround or even withnormal stereo mode, creating separate rear left and rear right signalsin any case. The Pro Logic II Emulation mode creates compelling five-channel surround sound fromconventional stereo recordings.Logic 7 Cinema Exclusive to Harman Kardon for AV receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the Delay time not adjustableLogic 7 Music maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs or conventional stereoLogic 7 Enhance material. Depending on the number of speakers in use and the selection made in the SURROUNDSELECT menu, the “5.1” versions of Logic 7 modes are available when the 5.1 option is chosen,while the “7.1” versions of Logic 7 produce a full sound field presentation, including back surroundspeakers when the “6.1/7.1” option is chosen. The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode should be usedwith any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C deliversincreased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pansthat are much smoother and more realistic than with former decoding techniques. The Logic 7 M orMusic mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listeningexperience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modesalso direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to delivermaximum bass impact. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode is an extension of the Logic 7 modes that isprimarily used with musical programs and is available with the 5.1 surround mode option selectedonly. Logic 7 E adds additional bass enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hzrange to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears broaderand wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.DTS Neo:6 Cinema These two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a six-channel Delay time not adjustableDTS Neo:6 Music surround presentation from conventional Matrix-encoded and traditional Stereo sources. Selectthe Cinema version of Neo:6 when a program with any type of analog Matrix surround encodingis present. Select the Music version of Neo:6 for optimal processing when a nonencoded,two-channel stereo program is being played.
