You should choose a surround mode to be the default for this source. Remember that all available mode options can be selected for a digital input source, but certain modes will not be available through the analog input for that source.

Selecting the default mode will not exclude other modes of surround decoding. In fact, certain digital signals (Dolby Digital, DTS, some Dolby Digital EX, and others) contain a special digital “flag” that tells the GTP-880 to switch to that surround mode. When the GTP-880 receives one of these bitstreams it will switch to that mode of operation. Additionally, you can manually cycle through the available modes while the source is playing to choose the one you wish to use.
