The Receiver automatically detects therelevant format in a digital signal – such as Dolby Atmos, TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS:X, DTS-HD Master Audio, DolbyDigital, or DTS – and switches to the appropriate decoding.MODES FOR ANALOG SOURCESAnalog recordings do not contain information about their encoding formats, so the desired mode – such as Dolby Surround –needs to be selected manually.StereoIn this mode the Receiver works as a conventional high quality audio amplifier. Note that if the subwoofer is enabled in stereomode, then some processing of the signal is carried out.⃞Stereo 2.0 – Conventional two-channel stereo mode, with full-range signal sent to corresponding Front Left andRight speaker outputs.⃞Stereo 2.1 – Only selectable if a subwoofer is present. Conventional two-channel stereo mode with low frequenciesredirected to the subwoofer.⃞All Stereo - This produces an output from all speakers by copying the left output to all left speakers and the rightoutput to all right speakers. The center speaker outputs a mix of left and right.NativeIn this mode, the incoming format is unchanged. In the case of analog and digital stereo recordings, the Receiverwill default to Stereo 2.0.Dolby SurroundDolby Surround allows the Receiver to derive up to 5 or 7 outputs from a two or multi-channel source to take better advantageof all amplifiers and speakers in your setup.DTSDTS Neural:X is an advanced upmixer that renders up to 7.1.4 channels of immersive audio from nearly any lower channelcount content.MULTI-CHANNEL SOURCE MODESFor many years, digital multi-channel source material was often provided as ‘5.1 audio’. The ‘5.1 channels’ are comprised of:left, center and right front speakers, two surround speakers and a low frequency effects (LFE) channel. Since the LFE channelis not a full range channel, it is referred to as ‘.1’.Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS-HD are high-resolution immersive surround formats which use object-oriented audiotechnology to deliver additional sonic locations for the sound requiring additional speakers including height speakers.
