■ Listening Modes
T-D (Theater-
Dimensional)
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual
surround sound even with only two or
three speakers. This works by
controlling how sounds reach the
listener’s left and right ears. Good
results may not be possible if there’s too
much reverb, so we recommend that
you use this mode in an environment
with little or no natural reverb.

In this mode, the display and video
circuitry are turned off, minimizing
possible noise sources for the ultimate in
high-fidelity audio reproduction. (As the
analog video circuitry is turned off, only
video signals input through HDMI IN can
be output from the HDMI output.)

Direct In this mode, audio from the input source
is output without surround-sound
processing. The speaker configuration
(presence of speakers) and speaker
distance settings are enabled, but much
of the processing set via the audio setup
is disabled. See “On-screen Setup” for
more details (➔ page 48).
Stereo Sound is output from the front left and
right speakers and subwoofer.
Mono Use this mode when watching an old
movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it
with the foreign language soundtracks
recorded in the left and right channels of
some movies. It can also be used with
DVDs or other sources containing
multiplexed audio, such as karaoke
DVDs.

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24
sources. This is high-resolution DTS
with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit
resolution, providing superior fidelity.
Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS
96/24 logo.
DTS-ES Discrete
*7
This mode is for use with DTS-ES
Discrete soundtracks, which use a
discrete surround back channel for true
6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven
totally separate audio channels provide
better spatial imaging and 360-degree
sound localization, perfect for sounds
that pan across the surround channels.
Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES
logo, especially those with a DTS-ES
Discrete soundtrack.
