Description
Incoming Bitstream or Signal
DTS Digital
Using a different encoding/decoding method from Dolby Digital, DTS Digital
also provides up to five discrete main channels, plus an LFE channel.
• DTS 1/0/.0 or .1, 2/0/.0 or .1, 3/0/.0 or .1, 3/1/.0 or .1, 2/2/.0 or
.1, 3/2/.0 or .1
• DTS-ES Matrix (played as 5.1)
• DTS-ES Discrete (played as 5.1)
DTS-HD
DTS-HD is a high-definition audio format that complements the high-definition video
found on Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD discs. It is transmitted using a DTS core with
high-resolution extensions. Even when only DTS 5.1 surround sound is desired (or
available, if the multizone system is in use), the higher capacity of high-resolution
discs serves up DTS at twice the bit rate used on DVD-Video discs.
• Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with DTS-HD modes,
delivered via HDMI connection
DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio technology delivers bit-for-bit reproductions of studio master
recordings for an incredibly accurate performance.
• Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with DTS-HD Master
Audio technology, delivered via HDMI connection
DTS Stereo
Delivers a 2-channel downmix of DTS Digital materials or presents a matrix-
encoded surround presentation.
• DTS 1/0/.0 or .1, 2/0/.0 or .1, 3/0/.0 or .1, 3/1/.0 or .1, 2/2/.0 or
.1, 3/2/.0 or .1
• DTS 96/24
• DTS-ES Matrix
Logic 7
Mode Group
A HARMAN proprietary technology, Logic 7 technology enhances two-channel
and matrix-encoded recordings by deriving separate information for the surround
back channels. It provides more accurate placement of sound, improves panning
and expands the sound field, even when used with 5.1-channel systems. Logic 7
technology uses 96kHz processing and is available in 5.1 mode. Three variants are
available.
See below
Logic 7
Movie
Especially suited to two-channel sources containing Dolby Surround or matrix
encoding, Logic 7 Movie mode increases center-channel intelligibility.
• Analog (two-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Logic 7
Music
The AVR is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for two-
channel signals. Logic 7 Music mode is well suited to conventional two-
channel music recordings.
• Analog (two-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
Logic 7
Game
Use Logic 7 Game mode to enhance enjoyment of video-game consoles.
• Analog (two-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
5-Channel Stereo
Useful for parties, the left- and right-channel information is played through both
the front and surround speakers on each side, while the center speaker plays a
summed mono mix.
• Analog (two-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
2-Channel Stereo
Turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-channel signal or a downmix
of a multichannel signal. The signal is digitized and bass management settings are
applied, making it appropriate when a subwoofer is used.
• Analog (two-channel; DSP downmix available for multichannel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
