[. . . ] Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with Dolby surround status automatically subjects that signal to Pro-Logic processing before play. 96 kHz source material can be play back in this mode. Analog input sound is reproduced in stereo. Dolby Virtual surround sound playback is initiated automatically if 5. 1-channel signals or Dolby Surround signals are input when the setting does not call for the surround speakers to be used. With a setting which does not call for the surround speakers to be used, Dolby Virtual surround sound playback is initiated. Using only the front left and right speakers, virtual surround sound playback results to give the impression that surround speakers are present. (Note: The effect will differ depending on the playback source and viewing/listening position. ) With a setting which calls for the surround speakers to be used, the Dolby Digital 5. 1-channel signal input is played back as is. On the other hand, 2-channel input signals (both analog and digital) are subject to Dolby Pro Logic processing and played back. Note: Playback is not initiated for DTS input signals or 96 kHz PCM input signals. This mode bypasses all surround processing. Stereo program sources the left and right channels play normaly when PCM-audio or analog stereo is input. With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5. 1 multi-channels are converted to two channel stereo. 96 kHz source material can be play back in stereo mode. This mode is used to create a wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material. This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both left front and left surround speaker and the right channel signal to both right front and right surround speaker. Addtionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the right and left channel. The 96 kHz sampling frequency mutes output. In the source direct mode, the tone control circuite and bass management configuration are bypassed for full range frequeancy responce and the purist audio reproduction. 96 Khz source matirial can be play back in this mode. When analog signal input is selected, the digital unit's processing is stopped to minimize the effects of the high-frequency clock, etc. Notes: Internal speaker size is setup to front L/R = Large, Center = Large, Surround L/R = Large and Subwoofer = yes automatically. In contrast to the SOURCE DIRECT mode, the front panel display circuit is completely shut down, and then the video output circuit is shut down to eliminate superfluous processing in operations other than the audio output.
