Initial Setting – 0 ms
DTS 5.1 When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is
available when DVD, audio-only music or laserdiscs encoded with DTS data are played.
DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated
low-frequency channel.
DDOLBY PRO LOGIC II Dolby Pro Logic II is the latest version of Dolby Laboratory’s benchmark surround technology
MOVIE that decodes full-range, discrete left, center right, right surround and left surround channels
MUSIC from matrix surround encoded programs and conventional stereo sources when
DOLBY PRO LOGIC an analog input or a digital input with PCM or Dolby Digital 2.0 recordings is in use. The
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks that are recorded with matrix
surround, by creating separate center, rear left and rear right signals. while the Pro Logic II Music
mode should be used with musical selections that are recorded with matrix surround or even with
normal stereo mode, creating separate rear left and rear right signals in any case.
The Pro Logic II mode creates compelling five-channel surround sound from
conventional stereo recordings.
Logic 7 Cinema Exclusive to Harman Kardon for AV receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the
Logic 7 Music maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo
Logic 7 Enhance material. Depending on the number of speakers in use and the selection made in the SURROUND
SELECT menu, the “5.1” versions of Logic 7 modes are available when the 5.1 option is chosen,
while the “7.1” versions of Logic 7 produce a full sound field presentation, including back surround
speakers when the “6.1/7.1” option is chosen. The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode should be used
with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers
increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans
that are much smoother and more realistic than with former decoding techniques. The Logic 7 M or
Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening
experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes
also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver
maximum bass impact. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode is an extension of the Logic 7 modes that is
primarily used with musical programs and is available with the 5.1 surround mode option selected
only. Logic 7 E adds additional bass enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz
range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears broader
and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.
DTS 96/24 DTS 96/24 is a high-resolution format that uses a 96kHz sampling rate with 24 bits to produce extended
information that improves the harmonics of the source material.
The AVR is capable of automatically detecting and decoding DTS 96/24 materials and delivering them as
the artist intended.
DOLBY 3 STEREO Uses the information contained in a surround encoded or two channel stereo program to No surround channels
create center channel information. In addition, the information that is normally sent to the
rear channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front left and front right
channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center channel speaker
but no surround speakers.
THEATER The THEATER mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling Delay time not adjustable
of a standard live performance theater, with stereo and even pure mono sources.
HALL 1 The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small (HALL 1) or Delay time not adjustable
HALL 2 medium sized (HALL 2) concert hall, with stereo and even pure mono sources.

Operation
5-Channel Stereo This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and No delay is available for
back of a room. Ideal for playing music in situations such as a party, it places the same signal this mode
at the front-left and surround-left, and at the front-right and surround-right speakers. The center
channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.
Surround Off (Stereo) These modes turn off all surround processing and present the pure left- and right-channel No surround channels
Surround Off (Bypass) presentation of two-channel stereo programs. The Surround Off (Bypass) mode may only be
DSP Surround Off used with analog source inputs, as it preserves the analog format of the audio signal for its
entire path of travel through the receiver to the speaker and subwoofer outputs, bypassing
all digital processing. Digital bass management is not available in Surround Off mode. The
DSP Surround Off mode can be used with either an analog or digital input, as the signal
undergoes digital bass management to optimize the distribution of the low frequencies
between the main speakers and a subwoofer.
Dolby Virtual Speaker Dolby Virtual Speaker technology uses a next-generation advanced algorithm to reproduce the No surround channels
Reference dynamics and surround sound effects of a precisely placed 5.1-channel speaker system using only
Wide front left and right speakers. In the Reference Mode, the apparent width of the sound across
the front image is defined by the distance between the two speakers. The Wide Mode
provides a wider, more spacious front image when the two speakers areclose together.
Dolby Headphone Dolby Headphone enables ordinary stereo headphones to portray the sound of a five-speaker No surround channels
DH surround-playback system.
