LISTENING MODE DESCRIPTION
DTS
DTS HD Master Audio
DTS HD Master Audio is a lossless variable bit rate audio encoding technology that matches bit-to-bit the
original studio master soundtrack. Available on Blu-ray Disc connected via HDMI v1.3. Provides ‘Producer
Mix’ in any channel configuration from 2.0 to 7.1. Displayed as: DTS-HD MSTR
DTS HD High
Resolution Audio
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio compression technology allows high definition audio encoding/decoding
on Blu-ray Discs when there is insufficient disc space for DTS-HD Master Audio. DTS-HD High Resolution
Audio can provide up to 7.1 channels of better-than-DVD quality multichannel audio.
DTS ES
Discrete 6.1
Matrix 6.1
DTS ES (Extended Surround) can decode content encoded as DTS 6.1 Discrete, DTS 6.1 Matrix and DTS 5.1.
In a 7.1 configuration, DTS 6.1 Discrete provides a discrete rear surround channel creating a more realistic
front to back and side to side sound environment from DTS 6.1 Discrete encoded content. In a 7.1 configu-
ration DTS 6.1 Matrix synthesizes a rear surround channel from DTS 5.1 surround encoded content. In a 5.1
configuration the DTS 6.1 Discrete channel will be matrixed to the 5.1 surround speakers. Typically available
on DVD formats. Displayed as: DTS ES
DTS NEO:6
Cinema
Music
DTS +NEO:6 Music
DTS NEO:6 synthesizes 2-channel (stereo) audio into six full bandwidth matrix channels in a 7.1 configura-
tion, and five full bandwidth matrix channels in a 5.1 configuration. DTS NEO:6 will create a center rear
channel from 5.1 encoded content that is played through the rear speakers in a 7.1 configuration. (The M80
will create a subwoofer channel based upon the speaker crossover settings but is not a ‘.1’ LFE channel.)
Cinema mode is optimized for movie soundtrack and Music is optimized for music playback. Displayed as:
NEO:6 Cinema/Music
In a 7.1 configuration, DTS+NEO:6 Music converts DTS 5.1 encoded content into a 7.1 presentation utilizing
the NEO:6 Music optimization. Displayed as: DTS+NEO:6 Music
Stereo Downmix Stereo Downmix is a 2 channel output of DTS multichannel encoded content. This allows some DTS mul-
tichannel content to be played trough two speakers in a ‘Producer Mix’ without loosing any of the voice,
soundtrack or ambient sound characteristics when the M80 is setup in a 7.1 configuration. Displayed as:
DTS Stereo.
OTHER MODES
Multi-Channel PCM
Multi-Channel PCM is uncompressed, decoded multi-channel digital audio. Many Blu-ray, DVD-Video and
other digital media players have on-board audio decoding capability with two or three selectable digital
audio output modes. When the decoded audio soundtrack is decoded by the player, and the decoded
audio is selected as the output, (PCM) the player will output the decoded multi-channel audio as a PCM
bitstream. Since the audio is already decoded, the ‘native’ Dolby and DTS Listening Modes will not be select-
able on the M80, but some Listening Mode options will be available. Displayed as: Multi-ch PCM
7 Channel Stereo 7 Channel Stereo places a stereo audio signal left channel in the front, surround and rear left speakers and
places the right channel in the front, surround and rear right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed
mono mix of the in-phase content from the right and left channels. Available for un-encoded stereo audio
content. Displayed as: 7ch Stereo
5 Channel Stereo 5 Channel Stereo places a stereo audio signal left channel in the front and surround left speakers and places
the right channel in the front and surround right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed mono mix
of the in-phase content from the right and left channels. Available for un-encoded stereo audio content.
Displayed as: 5ch stereo
Stereo Stereo is two channel audio played through the front left and right speakers. Available for any un-encoded
analog or digital stereo audio signal. Displayed as: Stereo
Analog Bypass Analog Bypass passes line level analog audio signals directly to the volume control and amplifier, bypass-
ing Listening Mode processing. Available for any analog line level audio from the Audio Inputs, the internal
Tuner and the 7.1 channel analog Multi-Input. Displayed as: Analog Bypass
