DOLBY DIGITAL 2.0     

Dolby  Digital  2.0  soundtracks  with  surround  encoding  contain  a  flag  that  is  normally  used  to  activate 
Pro  Logic  IIx  Movie  mode.  The  modes  in  the  next  section  may  be  selected  separately  for  flagged  and
unflagged stereo sources.

4.6.3

SURROUND MODES FOR 2.0-CHANNEL SOURCES

Number of output channels is indicated. Press 

AUDIO

then use the 

56

(up/down) keys to select:

Stereo

No surround mode is applied.

AnthemLogic-Music

One  of  Anthem’s  proprietary  surround  modes,  designed  to  expand  the
soundstage  of  stereo  music  in  a  very  natural  way  without  losing  soundstage
integrity or image focus. 

The center channel is not used.

AnthemLogic-Cinema

Another proprietary mode from Anthem, designed to provide the impact of a large
theater experience from 2-channel movies and TV programs.

Pro Logic IIx Movie

Dolby Surround decoder for 2-channel movies and TV programs.

Pro Logic IIx Music

Can be used with stereo music to make it more compelling.

Pro Logic IIx Game

Bass from surround effects in video games is optimized for visceral impact.

Dolby Pro Logic IIz

Improves the spatial experience through front ceiling speakers. This takes effect
if  Pro  Logic  IIx  is  selected  while  Main  Ceiling  speakers  are  selected  in  the
speaker configuration setup.

Neo:6 Music

A matrix decoder for stereo music.

Neo:6 Cinema

A matrix decoder that can be used with any matrix-encoded movie. Separation is
created by allowing sounds to be placed at different points in the sound field.

All Channel Stereo

The left and right channels are also sent to the surround and rear channels, while
the  center  channel  and  subwoofer  receive  a  combination  of  both.  Some
processing is used to retain image clarity. Useful for playing music at parties so
it can be heard with equal loudness in all parts of the room.

Why can’t I select a surround mode when playing a multichannel source?

1. If it’s not PCM and its sampling rate higher than 96 kHz, surround processing may not be applicable.

2. If you are using less than 7.1 speakers and the speaker configuration menu is set correctly, modes that
require more speakers cannot be selected.

4.6.4

DOLBY VIRTUAL SPEAKER

If your system uses two speakers you can use Dolby Virtual Speaker listening modes to simulate 5.1-channel
listening  environments.  Two  options  are  available  – Wide  for  smaller  listening  spaces  and  Reference  for
more spacious ones. Regardless of the room’s size, use the mode that sounds best.
