DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIxDolby Pro Logic IIx processes both stereo and 5.1 signals into a 6.1 or 7.1channel output. At Dolby Pro Logic IIx, you can choose PLIIx Movie or PLIIxMusic modes to tailor your listening experience to the source material.Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround processing yields more stable imaging and fullbandwidth sound to the rear channels in Movie mode offering sound thatis more similar to Dolby Digital decoding. For two channel signals, Pro LogicIIx Music mode also features three additional user controls - Dimension,Center Width, and Panorama. See also section about ‘Adjusting ListeningModes’ below.The following chart shows the channels available assuming they areenabled in the ‘Speaker Configuration’ menu:Listening ModeTwo-Channel SourcesActive Decoded Output Channels6.1 Speaker System 7.1 Speaker SystemDolby Pro Logic IIx MusicDolby Pro Logic IIx MovieFront (left & right),Center, Surround (left &right), Back Surround,SubwooferFront (left & right),Center, Surround (left &right) and Back Surround(left and right) andsubwooferDTS NEO: 6Two-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, arereproduced with Neo: 6 surround with output to front left/right, center anddiscrete left/right surround channels plus subwoofer (assuming these arepresent in the current ‘Speaker Configuration’). The T 775 provides two DTSNeo: 6 variations - NEO:6 Cinema and NEO:6 Music. See also section about‘Adjusting Listening Modes’ below.EARSTwo-channel recordings, whether stereo or surround-encoded, arereproduced with proprietary NAD surround processing with signals outputto the front left/right, center and discrete left/right surround channels,plus subwoofer (assuming these are present in the current ‘SpeakerConfiguration.’). EARS does not employ the surround back speakers (if any).EARS extracts the natural ambience present in nearly all well-producedstereo recordings. It does not synthesize any ambience or other sonicelements and thus remains truer to the sound of the original musicalperformance than most other music-surround options.Select EARS for listening to stereo music recordings and broadcasts.EARS produces a subtle but highly natural and believable ambience fromnearly all “natural-acoustic” stereo recordings. Typically, these includeclassical, jazz, and folk genres as well as numerous examples from others.Its virtues include realistic, stable “front-stage” sonic imaging and spaciousbut unexaggerated ambient “virtual acoustics” that remain faithful to theoriginal recording.ENHANCED STEREOAll recordings are reproduced in stereo via the maximum speakercomplement configured in the current ‘Speaker Configuration.’ Enhancedstereo can be useful for maximum volume from all channels or for multi-speaker background music (cocktail party) listening. For this mode, Front,Center, Surround and Back speakers can be turned ON/OFF as desired.ANALOG BYPASSAll analog signals remain in the analog domain without analog-to-digitalconversions. At Analog Bypass, the DSP circuitry is bypassed but full tonecontrol functions remain. ‘Bass management’ or Speaker settings are alsonot in effect as these are DSP functions.ADjUSTING LISTENING MODESSeveral of the T 775’s listening modes have one or more selectablevariations and adjustable parameters that you can modify to suityou system or personal preferences. At Listening Mode menu, use acombination of ENTER and keys to navigate and effect desiredsettings.NOTEListening Mode parameter changes are maintained when you changelistening modes. You may also save a modified Listening Mode for easyrecall by saving it to a Preset (See ‘A/V Presets’ below under Setup Menudiscussions).PRO LOGIC IIxPLIIx MOVIE is optimized for film soundtracks.PLIIx MUSIC for music recordingsCenter Width (0 to 7): Modifies the “hard-centeredness” of the centerimage, by gradually mixing mono center content to the Front left/rightspeakers as well. A setting of 0 retains the center-channel-only defaultwhile a setting of 7 yields a fully phantom center channel.Dimension (-7 to +7): Adjusts front-rear emphasis of the surroundeffect independently from the relative channel levels.Panorama (On/Off): Adds a “wraparound” effect by extending somestereo content into the surround channels.NOTEPro Logic IIx mode will decode as Pro Logic II mode when the BACKsurround speakers are set to “OFF” from “Speaker Configurations” menu.See also section about “Speaker Configurations” under “Speaker Setup”of the Setup Menu.DTS NEO: 6NEO: 6 Cinema is optimized for film soundtracks.NEO: 6 Music for music recordingsCenter Gain (0 to 0.5): Adjust for better center image in relation to thesurround sound channels.OPERATIONUSING THE T 775 – MAIN MENU14ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA РУССКИЙ
