5.8.3 SURROUND MODES FOR STEREO SOURCE MATERIAL
Press MODE and rotate the Master Control Knob to to cycle through the following surround modes:
Pro Logic II-Movie and THX must be Off for all Modes on this page to be available (see sec. 5.8.2 and 5.8.6).
Stereo: No surround mode is applied.
AnthemLogic-Music: 6.1 – One of Anthem’s proprietary surround modes specifically designed to
expand the stereo soundstage of stereo music in a very natural way without any
loss of soundstage integrity or image focus. The Center channel is not used.
AnthemLogic-Cinema: 7.1 – Another proprietary mode from Anthem, specifically designed to provide
the impact of a large theater experience from 2-channel movies and TV programs.
Pro Logic II-Music: 5.1 – Can be used with stereo music material. The following three parameters
can be adjusted by pressing the MODE button one, two, or three times while in
Pro Logic II-Music, and rotating the Master Control Knob:
Center Width is adjustable from 0 to 7 – ‘0’ places all Center sound in the Center
speaker, while ‘7’ places it equally in the Left and Right channels.
Dimension helps achieve the desired front-to-back balance by providing seven
steps of adjustment between the Surround and Center channels.
Panorama is effective for recordings with strong left or right channel elements.
When ‘On’, it extends the front stereo image to include the Surround channels.
Pro Logic II-Movie: 5.1 – The next generation Dolby Surround decoder for 2-channel movies and TV
programs, with improved spatiality and directionality.
Dolby Pro Logic: 5.1 – Still available, in case there is a desire to hear program “as it used to be”.
DTS Neo:6-Music: 6.1 – Can be used with stereo music material to create 6.1 output channels. The
center image can be adjusted by pressing MODE while in Neo:6 Music, and
rotating the Master Control Knob:
Center Image is adjustable from 0 to 5 – increasing the number gives more
center channel prominence.
DTS Neo:6-Cinema: 6.1 – A matrix decoder that can be used with all matrix-encoded movies.
Separation is created by allowing various sounds to be placed at different
points in the sound field simultaneously.
All-Channel Stereo: 7.1 – The Left and Right channels are also sent to the Surround and Rear
channels, while the Center channel and Subwoofer receive a combination of
both. Some processing is used to retain image clarity. Useful for playing music
at parties so that it can be heard with equal loudness in all parts of the room.
All-Channel Mono: 7.1 – Combines the Left and Right channels and sends the signal to all speakers.
Mono: Combines the Left and Right channels and sends the signal to the Center speaker.
Mono-Academy: Gives a presentation closer to the original on movies made from the 1930s to
1960s, which relied on high-frequency rolloff for sound balance and to mask
inherent hiss. Use only with old mono movies that sound overly bright and hissy.
Note: Channels of output are indicated in bold type – ‘.1’ refers to derived subwoofer channel (not LFE).
