kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
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.
CIRCLE SURROUND
II
(CS

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 film, including broadcast,
videotape and stereo recorded music.
Depending on source material, you can select

mode,

mode or
CS

mode.
Note:
• 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 Pro Logic
processing when the sampling frequency is 32
kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
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.
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.
S (SOURCE ) - DIRECT
In the source direct mode, the tone control circuit
and bass management configuration are bypassed
for full range frequency response and the purist
audio reproduction.
96 kHz PCM source material can be played back in
this mode.
Notes:
• Internal speaker size is setup to front L/R = Large,
Center = Large, Surround L/R = Large and
Subwoofer = Yes automatically. Tone controls
and additional processing are also defeated.
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and CD
players, performing operations such as “Skip” or
“Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.
CAUTION
NOTE for DTS signal
* Connected DVD-player, laser-disc 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 the SR6400
digitally. This is because the digital signal has
been processed (such as the output level,
sampling frequency, or frequency response)
and the SR6400 cannot recognize the signal as
DTS data.
* Depending on the player used, DTS play may
produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction.
* While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD are
playing in another Surround mode, you cannot
switch to digital input or from digital input to
analog input by INPUT SETUP in SETUP MAIN
MENU or the A/D button.
* The outputs for the VCR 1 OUT, DSS/VCR 2
OUT, TAPE OUT, and CD-R OUT output analog
audio signals. 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
identification signal. In this case, set the EX/
ES mode manually.
NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio
* AUTO, Source- DIRECT, and STEREO modes
can be used when playing PCM signals with a
sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from
DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz
audio). If such signals are input during playback
in one of the other surround modes, output from
SR6400 will be muted.
* Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output.
For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.
* Some DVD formatted 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.
