Circle Surround is designed to enable multichannel
surround sound playback of non-encoded and
multichannel encoded material.
Backward compatibility provides listeners with up to
6.1 channels of surround performance from entire
collection of music and fi lm, including broadcast,
videotape and stereo recorded music.
Depending on source material, you can select CS

mode.
CSII Cinema mode
This mode is suited for playing back Circle Surround-
encoded and non-encoded film and television
soundtracks. Cinema Mode enables 6.1-channel
surround playback of 2-channel sources such as
Video Cassettes, TV broadcasts, streaming media
and DVDs.
CSII Music mode
This mode is suited for playing back Circle Surround-
encoded and non-encoded music. Music Mode
decodes, music DVDs, radio and TV music broadcasts
and CDs into enveloping 6.1-channel surround.
CSII-Mono mode
This mode plays back monaural recordings from
any source, including CDs, DVDs and TV and radio
broadcasts in compelling 6.1-channel surround.
Notes:
• CS II mode is available for 2ch input signals which
are encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM format.
• PCM-audio signals can be subjected to CS II
processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
STEREO
This mode bypasses all surround processing.
In stereo program sources, the left and right channels
play normally when PCM-audio or analog stereo is
input.
With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1
multichannels are converted to two channel stereo.
96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in
stereo mode.
VIRTUAL
This mode creates a virtualized surround sound
experience from a two-speaker (front L and R)
playback system playing any multichannel audio
source (such as found on DVDs and digital
broadcasts), including Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic
or DTS.
MULTI CH. ST
This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more
natural soundstage from two channel source material.
This is done by feeding the left channel signal to
both left front and left surround speaker and the right
channel signal to both right front and right surround
speaker. Additionally, the center channel reproduces
a mix of the right and left channel.
CAUTION
NOTE for DTS signal
* Connected DVD player, laserdisc player or CD
player needs to support DTS digital output. You
may not be able to play some DTS source signals
from certain CD players and LD players even if
you connect the player to this unit digitally. This
is because the digital signal has been processed
(such as the output level, sampling frequency
or frequency response), and this unit cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data.
* You can not listen to DTS-encoded software in a
multiroom.
* Depending on the player used, DTS play may
produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.
* While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are
playing in another surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to analog
input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU
or by pressing the A/D button.
* The outputs for VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2 OUT,
TAPE OUT, and CD-R OUT output analog audio
signals only. Do not record from CDs or LDs that
support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the
DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.
NOTE for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal
* When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded
software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the
EX/ES mode.
* Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround
EX-encoded software does not contain the
identifi cation signal. In this case, set the EX/ES
mode manually.
NOTE for 96 kHz/192 kHz PCM audio
* The AUTO, Pure Direct, and Stereo modes can be
used when playing PCM signals with a sampling
frequency of 96/192 kHz (such as from DVD-
Video/Audio discs).
* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output.
For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.
* Some DVD discs feature copy protection. When
using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output
from the DVD player. For details, refer to the
player’s operation manual.
NOTE for HDCD signal
* HDCD is effective only through digital input.
* You may not be able to play some HDCD source
signals from certain CD players if you connect
the player to this unit digitally. This is because the
digital signal has been processed (such as the
output level, sampling frequency or frequency
response) and this unit cannot recognize the
signal as HDCD data.
