Azur AV receiver

The 540R V2.0 has several music and home-cinema listening modes
available, all designed to reproduce “surround sound” effects,
dependant on the input signal and speaker setup:

Stereo

Only the Front Left and Front Right speakers (and subwoofer if selected)
have output in this mode. If an analog source is selected you will be
listening to pure analog stereo with no digital signal processing. If a
digital source is selected the 540R V2.0 will act as a digital to analog
converter and play back stereo LPCM as output by CD players etc.

Dolby Digital (5.1)

Provides (up to) 5.1 output from suitable encoded Dolby Digital material
using 5 main speakers (Left Front , Right Front , Centre, Left Surround,
Right Surround) and a subwoofer. Decoding Dolby Digital requires a
Dolby Digital encoded DVD disc and a digital connection from the 540R
V2.0 to the source equipment (Such as a DVD player).

DTS (5.1)

DTS also provides (up to) 5.1 output from suitable encoded DTS material
using 5 main speakers (Left front , Right front , Centre, Left Surround,
Right Surround) and a subwoofer. Decoding DTS requires a suitably
encoded DTS disc and a digital connection from the 540R V2.0 to the
source equipment.

Dolby Digital EX (6.1)

An enhanced form of Dolby Digital, DD EX provides an extra channel
(Surround Back) for greater image depth and more solid sound
localisation behind the listener. DD EX  requires a DD EX encoded disc.

DTS-ES Discrete (6.1)

An enhanced form of DTS, ES provides an extra channel (Surround Back)

SURROUND SOUND MODES

for greater image depth and more solid sound localisation behind the
listener. All channels are discretely encoded digitally for the best
possible surround sound effect. DTS-ES Discrete  requires a DTS-ES
Discrete encoded disc.

DTS-ES Matrix (6.1)

Another enhanced form of DTS, ES Matrix also provides an extra channel
(Surround Back) but instead the extra channel is inserted into the left
and right surround channels in a matrix process. DTS-ES Matrix requires
a DTS-ES Matrix encoded disc.

Pro Logic II

A newer version of Dolby Pro Logic which is able to recreate 5.1 surround
sound from suitable encoded analog source material. The source
material is stereo (and can be played as such) but also has special
encoding that allows the 540R V2.0 to decode a 5.1 surround sound
output. There are 5 standard modes: Movie, Music, Virtual, Pro Logic
Emulation and Matrix.

DTS Neo:6

A DTS technology which is able to recreate 6.1 surround sound from
suitable encoded analog source material. The source material is stereo
(and can be played as such) but also has special encoding that allows
the 540R V2.0 to decode a 6.1 surround sound output. There are 2
standard modes: Cinema and Music. 

DSP modes

These modes allow a realistic surround-sound experience from source
material that has no encoding at all. The surround sound effect is
achieved by Digital Signal Processing of the Analog or Digital stereo
source used. Five modes are possible: Theater, Hall, Movie, Music and
Room.
