decoding and surround modes

operating manual
You can assign Initial Surround Mode to every input
(1)
. All
decoding and processing modes currently available can be cycled
through by repeatedly pressing the
surround
button on the front
panel or the
surround
key on the Remote. The initial surround
mode applied to any given input will be ignored by the AV32R if
a digital data stream with embedded control flags, such as DTS, is
detected.
Digital inputs allow three sampling frequency dependent initial
mode settings. Use 44.1 for CD, 48kHz for DVD Multichannel and
96kHz for hi-resolution DVD Stereo recordings.
Each initial surround mode, selected from the user defined table, is
dynamically changed whenever the user changes the surround
mode manually, until the AV32R is switched off using the power
button on the front facia or placed in/out of standby.
The programme source format display area of the front panel
display indicates which channels are present in a digital multi-
channel audio source. For a full 5.1 multi-channel source with THX
Surround EX or DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix encoding this will be L, C, R,
LS, RS, S
(2)
and LFE
(3)

1. The initial surround mode is the one which will be applied to the source the first
time the source is selected after the AV32R is switched on using the power switch
2. The
‘S’ indicator will only show up if your AV32R is equipped with the THX
Surround EX Plus upgrade and the DVD includes the necessary Dolby EX or DTS-
ES 6.1 detection flag. Most Dolby EX encoded DVDs and some DTS-ES 6.1 do
not set this detection flag, which means you will need to activate these
processing modes manually
3. Please note that not all multi-channel sources contain information on all channels.
In addition, even if a channel is present, this does not mean that sound will
constantly be produced from that speaker (many movies contain an LFE channel
which is only used at dramatic moments)
