Description  
DTS Digital  
Surround  
DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is a multichannel digital signal format which  
handles higher data rates than Dolby Digital.  
DTS- ESExtended  
Surround  
This is a new multichannel digital signal format which greatly improves the  
360-degree surround impression and space expression. In addition to the  
5.1 channels, DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the surround back  
(sometimes also referred to as surround center) channel for surround  
playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes  
the DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1 signal formats.  
DTS Neo: 6  
surround  
This mode applies conventional two-channel signals such as digital PCM  
or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used  
for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-channel surround playback. DTS Neo  
: 6 includes DTS Neo: 6 Cinema and DTS Neo: 6 Music signal formats.

Chapter 3: Using the Receiver  
Mode  
Description  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital discs support recordings of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals,  
which reproduce much better sound quality, spatial expansion, and dynamic  
range characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effects.  
Dolby Digital EX  
This mode uses a matrix decoder to create the back (sometimes referred  
to as surround center) signal from the surround left and right signals in a  
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel source and provides 6.1 channel surround  
playback. For the best results, this mode should be selected during playback  
of sources recorded in Dolby Digital Surround EX.  
When Dolby Digital EX sources are decoded with a Dolby Digital EX  
decoder, the format is automatically detected and Dolby Digital EX mode  
is selected. However, some Dolby Digital EX sources may be detected as  
Dolby Digital sources. In this case, the Dolby Digital EX mode should be  
selected manually.  
Dolby Pro Logic  
Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded two-channel surround format which  
consists of four channels (front left, center, front right, and surround). The  
surround channel is monaural and is played through both surround  
speakers.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
surround  
This mode applies conventional two-channel signals such as digital PCM  
or analog stereo signals as well as Dolby Surround signals to surround  
processing. Dolby Pro Logic II surround includes Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema,  
Dolby Pro Logic II Music, and Dolby Virtual signal formats.  
MPEG  
Though the number of audio channels is 5.1 (which is the same as Dolby  
Digital), MPEG Multichannel discs are much better at matching individual  
sounds to the correct position in the sound stage. MPEG Multichannel works  
well when using the 7 CH DIRECT INPUTs to playback the sound from an  
additional multichannel decoder. For details, see to the user’s guide for your  
connected 7-channel component.
