sound field is desired.
• Dolby Digital
• Analog (two-channel)

DTS-HD DTS-HD is a new 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 the studio master
recording in up to 7.1 channels for an incredibly accurate performance.
• Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with DTS-HD Master Audio
technology, delivered via HDMI connection
DTS-ES Matrix DTS Extended Surround adds a single surround back channel to DTS 5.1 digital
surround sound. The Matrix version includes the surround back channel information
“matrixed” into the left and right (side) surround channels for compatibility with
5.1-channel systems.
• DTS-ES Matrix
DTS-ES Discrete DTS-ES Discrete is another Extended Surround mode that adds a surround back
channel, but this information is encoded discretely on the disc and is not derived from
information contained in the surround channels.
• DTS-ES Discrete
DTS Stereo Delivers
a two-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 or .1,
3/2/.0 or .1

DTS Neo:6
Mode Group
DTS Neo:6 analog processing is available with DTS and DTS 96/24 signals and
two-channel analog or PCM signals to create a 3-, 5- or 6-channel presentation.
See below
DTS Neo:6
Cinema
Depending on the number of speakers in your system, select 3-, 5- or 6-channel
modes, enhanced for movie or video presentations.
• DTS 2/2/.0 or .1, 3/2/.0 or .1
• DTS 96/24
• Analog (two-channel)
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
DTS Neo:6
Music
Available only in 5- and 6-channel modes, creates a surround presentation
suitable for music recordings.
• DTS 2/2/.0 or .1, 3/2/.0 or .1
• DTS 96/24
• Analog (two-channel)
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
HARMAN NSP A HARMAN proprietary technology, NSP uses sophisticated digital processing to deliver
a true natural sounding three-dimensional listening experience from conventional
2-channel stereo sources like CDs and stereo broadcasts. While preserving the
recording’s original timbre and spatial balance, HARMAN NSP creates a simulated
listening space that automatically adjusts to suit the type of program you are
listening to. Adjustments are available for the size of the simulated space and for
how aggressively NSP automatically adjusts the simulated space to compliment the
program material.
• Analog (two-channel)
• Tuner
• 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)
7-Channel Stereo
(AVR 1710S/
AVR 171S only)
Expands the 5-Channel Stereo presentation to include the surround back channels.• Analog (two-channel)
• Tuner
• PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz)
2-Channel Stereo Turns off all surround processing and plays a pure two-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)
