players. The SACD and DVD-A formats bypass all internal processing in
the Maestro and feed directly to the amplifiers through the volume
control. Since the digital processing in the Maestro is defeated, there
are no mode adjustments available. The Dolby Digital and DTS encoded
music disks are treated the same as surround encoded movies and
have the same options.
Two-channel Modes
The following surround modes are available with two channel audio
sources. These include Stereo Analog, Dolby Digital 2.0 and PCM 2-
channel digital sources.
Dolby Pro Logic II
This provides better surround channel separation that the original
ProLogic format. There are two ProLogic II surround modes: Music and
Movie. Use the method that sounds best to you.
Dolby Pro Logic Emulation
This mode should only be used on ProLogic encoded source materials.
ProLogic processing on pure stereo sources can sound muffled and is
not recommended.
DTS Neo:6 Cinema
A movie surround decoding mode designed to provide a movie theater
environment soundstage with natural steering to all available surround
channels.
DTS Neo:6 Music
Similar to the Cinema mode but with a tighter surround effect for
most musical material.
Stereo
The Maestro works like a standard audio preamplifier in this mode.
This mode plays back standard analog audio sources along with 2
channel digital sources such as Dolby Digital 2.0 from some DVD
players and PCM digital CDs.
Mono
The left and right channels are combined into a single mono mix. This
can benefit some older recordings and video tapes.
