Surround Mode Description Incoming Bitstream or Signal
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 2-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 
2-channel analog or PCM signals to create a 3-, 5- or 6-channel presentation.

Cinema
Depending on the number of speakers in your system, select 3-, 5- or 
6-channel modes, enhanced for movie or video presentations.

Music
Available only in 5- and 6-channel modes, creates a surround presentation 
suitable for music recordings.

Logic 7 
Mode Group
A Harman International proprietary technology, Logic 7 technology enhances 
2-channel and matrix-encoded recordings by deriving separate information 
for the surround back channels. This provides more accurate placement of 
sound, improves panning and expands the sound field, even when used 
with 5.1-channel systems. Logic 7 technology uses 96kHz processing, and is 
available in 5.1- or 7.1-channel modes. Three variants are available.

Logic 7 
Movie
Especially suited to 2-channel sources containing Dolby Surround or matrix 
encoding, Logic 7 Movie mode increases center channel intelligibility.

Music
The AVR 160 is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for 
2-channel signals. Logic 7 Music mode is well suited to conventional 
2-channel music recordings.

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.

7-Channel Stereo Expands the 5-Channel Stereo presentation to include the surround back 
channels.

2-Channel Stereo Turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-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 (2-channel; DSP downmix available  •
for multichannel)

PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz) •
2-Channel Stereo 
(Analog Bypass)
Maintains an analog input signal in that form, bypassing all digital 
processing (i.e., surround and bass management). Requires Tone Control 
setting to be off.
