Surround parameters (1) (2-channel mode)
AUTO-ST (auto stereo) mode
2-channel sources are played in 2-channel stereo.
When this mode is selected in the auto decode mode, multi-channel sources (DVD, BS digital, etc.) are played in the multi-channel mode,
while 2-channel sources (CDs, etc.) are automatically played in stereo.
PLII CINEMA / PLII MUSI / PLII GAME
Even 2-channel sources undergo Dolby Pro Logic II processing and are played in the multi-channel mode.
Dolby Digital Pro-Logic II processing is applied to 2-channel sources as well to play them in the multi-channel mode.
• PLII CINEMA (Dolby Pro Logic II CINEMA) mode
The Cinema mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround.
• PLII MUSIC (Dolby Pro Logic II MUSIC) mode
The Music mode is recommended as the standard mode for auto sound music systems (no video), and is optional for A/V systems.
• PLII GAME (Dolby Pro Logic II GAME) mode
The Game mode for playing games. The game mode can only be used with 2-channel audio sources.
DTS NEO:6 CINEMA/NEO : 6 MUSIC mode
• NEO:6 CINEMA mode
This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same
atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 5.1 or 6.1-channel sources.
This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is
assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL and SR channels).
• NEO:6 MUSIC mode
This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there
is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL and SR) channels add a
natural sense of expansion to the sound field.
(3) Playing in the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode
• The Dolby Virtual Speaker mode is a mode using 3D sound technology from Dolby Laboratories to achieve multi-channel surround sound using
only two speakers for the front channels.
•With two speakers for the front channels, one of two modes can be selected: Reference or Wide.
• The Dolby Virtual Speaker mode can be used not only with Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel sources but also with 2-channel sources.
