DTS - ES™ MATRIX 6.1

In this format, the additional signals of the back channel receive a matrix 

encoding and are inputted into the right and left surround channels. 

During reproduction they are decoded to the right, left and back surround 

channels.

Since this bit-stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS 

signals, the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 format effect can also be achieved from 

sources with DTS-ES 5.1 signals.

Naturally, it is also possible to reproduce from a DTS 5.1 channel decoder, 

signals recorded in DTS-ES 6.1. 

When a DTS-ES decoder processes a discrete DTS-ES 6.1 or in Matrix 6.1, 

these formats are automatically detected and the Optimum Surround 

mode is selected. However, some DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 sources may be 

detected as DTS. In this case the DTS-ES Matrix mode should be selected 

manually in order to reproduce them.

DTS NEO: 6™ SURROUND

This mode applies the conventional 2-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 

surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding of the 

signal sources:

DTS NEO: 6 CINEMA :

 This method is ideal for the reproduction of 

movies. The decoding takes place by emphasizing the separation 

in order to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel, as with 

6.1-channel sources.

DTS NEO: 6 MUSIC :

 Mainly recommended for music reproduction. 

The right and left front channels do not pass through the decoder and 

are reproduced directly so there is no loss in sound quality, and the 

effects of the right surround, left surround, central and back surround 

channels add a natural sensation of expansion of the sound field.

ENHANCED STEREO

Please refer to the same description of ‘ENHANCED STEREO’ under the 

‘LISTENING MODES’ segment of the ‘OPERATION - USING THE T 187 - MAIN 

MENU’.

DISPLAY SETUP

The Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and On-Screen Display (OSD) can be 

shown in various ways by navigating through the parameters at the ‘Display 

Setup’ menu. Use a combination of [

A/S/D/F

] and [ENTER] keys to step 

through the ‘Display Setup’ menu items.

NOTE

 

The configurations set forth at ‘Display Setup’ are carried over whenever 

it is enabled during A/V Preset setting. Please see also the section below 

about ‘AV Presets.’ 

VACUUM FLUORESCENT DISPLAY (VFD)

Display :

 Select ‘On’ to display all applicable data or characters at the 

VFD. Nothing will be shown at VFD if ‘Temp’ is selected. At ‘Temp’ setting 

however, whenever any of the front panel controls or their corresponding 

keys in the remote control is activated, the appropriate VFD characters will 

be shown temporarily and then fade away. Note that if any of the Zones 

are at powered state, they will be continually shown at VFD even at ‘Temp’ 

setting.

Dimmer :

 If it is desired to reduce the brightness of the VFD, set Dimmer to 

‘Dim’. Otherwise, select ‘Bright’ to return to normal VFD brightness.

Line 1, Line 2 :

 The VFD shows two main lines of data or characters. Line 

2 is the line of data or characters located at the lower bottom of the VFD 

while directly above it is Line 1. For both lines, one can select which display 

could be shown by choosing through the following

Main Source :

 Shows the active Source.

Volume :

 Current Volume level is shown.

Listening Mode :

 Selected Listening Mode is shown.

Audio Src Format :

 Shows the active Source’s detected audio format.

Audio Codec:

 Displays the detected audio stream format like Analog, 

PCM Surround, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and other formats.

Video Mode:

 Show the video resolution of the active input source. 

Details shown include the video resolution with frame rate. For a better 

understanding of these video details, consult with your NAD Audio 

Specialist or your distributor’s technical department.

Zone 2-Zone 3-Zone 4 Source :

 The assigned Source for the 

applicable Zone is shown.

Off :

 Select ‘Off’ if it is desired not to show any data at the applicable Line.

Temp Line :

 Choose between Line 1 and Line 2 as the desired line where 

VFD will be temporarily shown if ‘Temp’ is selected at ‘Display’ option as 

described above.

ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD)

Temp Disp:

 This applies to the OSD that is temporarily shown at video out 

whenever any of the front panel controls or their corresponding keys in the 

remote control is activated. Set to ‘On’ if it is desired to show the applicable 

OSD at the monitor/TV; otherwise, select ‘Off’.
