Incoming Bitstream or Signal
dtS-hd
dtS-hd is a high-definition audio format that complements the high-definition video
found on blu-ray disc and hd-dVd discs. It is transmitted using a dtS core with
high-resolution extensions. even when only dtS 5.1 surround sound is desired (or
available, if the multizone system is in use), the higher capacity of high-resolution
discs serves up dtS at twice the bit rate used on dVd-Video discs.
• Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with DTS-HD modes,
delivered via hdmI connection
dtS-hd master Audio
dtS-hd master Audio technology delivers bit-for-bit reproductions of studio master
recordings for an incredibly accurate performance.
• Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with DTS-HD Master
Audio technology, delivered via hdmI connection
dtS Stereo
delivers a 2-channel downmix of dtS digital materials or presents a matrix-
encoded surround presentation.
• DTS 1/0/.0 or .1, 2/0/.0 or .1, 3/0/.0 or .1, 3/1/.0 or .1, 2/2/.0

• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
logic 7
mode group
A hArmAn proprietary technology, logic 7 enhances two-channel and matrix-
encoded recordings by deriving separate information for the surround back
channels. It provides more accurate placement of sound, improves panning and
expands the sound field, even when used with 5.1-channel systems. logic 7
technology uses 96kHz processing and is available in 5.1 mode. Three variants are
available.

logic 7
movie
especially suited to two-channel sources containing dolby Surround or matrix
encoding, logic 7 movie mode increases center-channel intelligibility.

• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
logic 7
music
the AVr is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for two-
channel signals. logic 7 music mode is well suited to conventional two-
channel music recordings.
• Analog (two-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)

• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
5-channel Stereo
useful for parties, the left- and right-channel information is played through both
the front and surround speakers on each side, while the center speaker plays a
summed mono mix.
• Analog (two-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
2-channel Stereo
turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-channel signal or a downmix
of a multichannel signal. The signal is digitized and bass management settings are
applied, making it appropriate when a subwoofer is used.
• Analog (two-channel; DSP downmix available for multichannel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
