5.1-CHANNEL & 7.1-CHANNEL DIRECT INPUTS
There are four listening modes available for use with surround
sources such as DVD-Audio, SACD, HD-DVD, or Blue-ray players.
These listening modes are for use when the MV-5 8-channel input is
in use. We recommend you use these listening modes under the
following conditions:
• 5.1 BYPASS - Use this listening mode when the Surround Back
L/R inputs are NOT in use and the input source device has its
own internal bass management system. The incoming audio
stream passes from the source directly through to the volume
control without any analog-to-digital conversion. This mode
also mutes the unusued input jacks to prevent unwanted noise
from interfering with the system performance.
• 5-CHANNEL - Use this listening mode when the Surround Back
L/R inputs are NOT in use and the input source device does
NOT have its own internal bass management system. In this
mode, the analog source is converted to digital so that it uses
the same bass management options for the direct input as used
for all other inputs. This mode also mutes the unusued input
jacks to prevent unwanted noise from interfering with the
system performance.
• 7.1 BYPASS - Use this listening mode when all eight channels
direct inputs are in use and the input source device has its own
internal bass management system. The incoming audio stream
passes from the source directly through to the volume control
without any analog-to-digital conversion.
• 7-CHANNEL - Use this listening mode when all eight channels
direct inputs are in use and the input source device does NOT
have its own internal bass management system. In this mode,
the analog source is converted to digital so that it uses the same
bass management options for the direct input as used for all
other inputs.
DTS Neo:6 Cinema
DTS Neo:6 Music
These two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a three-channel, five-channel, or six-channel surround presentation from
conventional Matrix-encoded and traditional Stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of the Neo:6 when a program with any type of Matrix sur-
round encoding is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6 for optimal processing when a non-encoded, two-channel stereo program is being
played.
DTS Neo:6
The DTS Neo:6 mode is designed for use with matrix-encoded digital signals. This mode is available when Digital DTS 96/24, DTS 5.1, and DTS 20-bit
5.1 CH CD data streams are active. DTS Neo:6 derives six channels when both side and rear speakers are present (rear speakers will be in parallel). It
derives five channels when only side speakers are present.
DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 is available on specially-encoded (and labeled) optical discs that offer five channels of audio with a 96kHz sampling rate that delivers greatly
improved audio performance. When a DTS 96/24 disc is in use and the player is connected with a digital link, the mode is selected automatically.
Hall 1 & Hall 2
The Hall modes, for both 5-channel and 7-channel systems, create sound fields that resemble a small-(Hall 1) or medium-sized (Hall 2) concert hall.
5-Channel Stereo
7-Channel Stereo
This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room. Ideal for playing music in situations such
as a party, it places the same signal at the front-left and surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed
mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels. If the MV-5 has been configured for 6.1-/7.1-channel operation, both of these options
are available for selection. If the MV-5 has been configured for 5.1-channel operation, only the 5-Channel Stereo option is available.
2-Channel Stereo
This mode turns off all surround processing and presents pure left- and right-channel stereo programs. The bass management processing that routes
low frequencies to the subwoofers is still active.
