When the MULTI INPUT source is selected on the INPUT SETUP menu, the
available options change to reflect the fact that these inputs are direct
analog inputs and bypass the receiver’s digital processing. The INPUT,
CINEMA EQ, DEFAULT MODE and GROUP DELAY options are not
available since these are all digitally implemented features.
The VID INPUT, INPUT LABEL, INPUT ATT and 12V TRIGGER options are
still available and work as described on the previous menu.
One additional option, LFE REDIRECT, provides an alternative bass
management configuration. Typically, the eight channels of the MULTI
INPUT are configured as pure analog bypass signals, going straight
from the inputs to the volume control and the preamp outputs, bypassing
all of the digital processing. There are no crossovers and no bass
management; therefore, whatever signal goes into the subwoofer
channel will be sent to the subwoofer preamp output.
This configuration may not be ideal for multichannel systems configured
with high-pass speakers, redirecting bass to a powered subwoofer. An
option, called LFE REDIRECT, sends the seven main channels directly
to the outputs as usual. In addition, it takes a duplicate copy of these
seven channels, combines them into mono, and routes them through a
100Hz analog low-pass crossover to the subwoofer preamp output. This
creates a summed mono subwoofer signal, derived from the seven main
channels of the MULTI INPUT.
Use the LFE REDIRECT OFF setting for the pure analog bypass
configuration. Use the LFE REDIRECT ON setting to derive the mono
summed subwoofer output.

When Dolby Pro Logic IIx is selected as the default surround mode on
the INPUT SETUP menu, there are additional settings and parameters to
optimize the surround decoding for music or movie soundtracks. Dolby
Pro Logic II uses matrix decoding algorithms to derive a center channel
and surround channels from 2-channel source material.
The first line of the Dolby Pro Logic IIx sub-menu selects CINEMA,
MUSIC, GAME, or PRO LOGIC modes for matrix decoding. Use the
+/– buttons on the remote to select a mode.
Select
CINEMA
to optimize for Dolby Surround encoded movie
soundtracks including increased surround separation and full-bandwidth
surround channel frequency response.
Select
MUSIC
to optimize for musical recordings. When the MUSIC
mode is selected, three additional parameters will be available on the
OSD screen. Use the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote to select a
parameter. Use the +/– buttons to change the selected parameter as
follows:
•
PANORAMA:
The Panorama option extends the front stereo image
to include the surround speakers for a dramatic “wraparound” effect.
The options are OFF or ON.
•
DIMENSION:
The Dimension option allows you to gradually adjust
the soundfield towards the front or towards the rear. There are seven
incremental settings from 0 to 6. A setting of 0 shifts the soundfield
towards the rear for maximum surround effect. A setting of 6 shifts
the soundfield to the front for minimum surround effect. The default
setting of 3 provides a “neutral” balance between the two extremes.
•
CENTER WIDTH:
The Center Width option allows you to spread
the signal intended for the center speaker to the left and right
front speakers, widening the perceived soundfield. There are eight
incremental settings from 0 to 7. With the default setting of 3, there is
no center width spreading and all of the center channel information
is sent to the center speaker. The maximum setting of 7 shifts all of the
center channel signal to the left and right speakers, essentially muting
the center speaker and maximizing the soundfield width. Other
settings provide incremental steps between the two extremes.
Select
GAME
to optimize for Dolby Surround encoded video games.
Select
PRO LOGIC
for original Dolby Pro Logic decoding. Typically,
Pro Logic II (Cinema or Music modes) will provide better surround
performance, even with older source material. Original Pro Logic mode
provides 5.1 channel surround sound, even on 6.1/7.1 channel systems.
When you have completed all the desired adjustments, highlight the
INPUT SETUP MENU line at the bottom of the screen and press the
ENTER button to return to the INPUT SETUP menu (or just press the
ENTER button).

When DTS Neo:6 is selected as the default surround mode on the
INPUT SETUP menu, there are additional option settings and parameters
available to optimize the surround decoding for various types of
recordings, music or movie soundtracks. DTS Neo:6 uses matrix
decoding algorithms to derive a center channel and surround channels
from 2-channel source material.
