Chapter 6:

Listening to your system

Important

•Certain features explained in this section will not be possible depending on the source (for example, PCM 88.2 kHz / 96 kHz, DTS 96 kHz (24 bit) or WMA 9 Pro sources).

The following modes provide basic surround sound for stereo and multichannel sources.

STANDARD ADV.SURR STEREO AUTO SURR

•While listening to a source, press

STANDARD.

If necessary, press repeatedly to select a listening mode.

Auto playback

The simplest, most direct listening option is the Auto Surround feature. With this, the receiver automatically detects what kind of source you’re playing and selects multichannel or

stereo playback as necessary.1

STANDARD ADV.SURR STEREO AUTO SURR

•While listening to a source, press AUTO SURR for auto playback of a source. AUTOSURR. shows briefly in the display (it will then show the decoding or playback format). Check the digital format indicators in the display to see how the source is being processed.

Listening in surround sound

Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in surround sound. However, the options available will depend on your speaker setup and the type of source you’re listening to.

If you connected surround back speakers, see also Using surround back channel processing

on page 31.2

•If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround encoded, the proper decoding format will automatically be selected and shows in the display.

With two channel sources, you can select from:

•2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE – Up to 7.1 channel sound, especially suited to movie sources

•2 Pro Logic IIx MUSIC – Up to 7.1 channel sound, especially suited to music sources

•2 Pro Logic IIx GAME – Up to 7.1 channel sound, especially suited for video games

•2 PRO LOGIC – 4.1 channel surround sound (sound from the surround speakers is mono)

•Neo:6 CINEMA – 6.1 channel sound, especially suited to movie sources

•Neo:6 MUSIC – 6.1 channel sound, especially suited to music sources

With multichannel sources, if you have connected surround back speaker(s) and have selected SB ON, you can select (according to format):

Note

1• Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded accordingly using Neo:6 CINEMA or 2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE (see Listening in surround sound above for more on these decoding formats).

•The Auto Surround feature is canceled if you connect headphones or select the multichannel analog inputs.

2If surround back processing (page 31) is switched to OFF, or the surround back speakers are set to NO (page 42) (this happens automatically if the Surround back speaker setting on page 36 is set to anything but Normal (SB)), 2 Pro Logic IIx becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel sound).
