The listening mode choices that appear in the display will vary according to the type of source that’s playing.

•Auto – See Auto listening mode above.

•Dolby Digital / DTS – Dolby Digital or DTS decoding (depending on the source).

•Pro Logic – 4.1 channel surround sound for use with any two-channel source

•PL II Movie – Pro Logic II 5.1 channel surround sound, especially suited to movie sources, for use with any two-channel source

•PL II Music – Pro Logic II 5.1 channel surround sound, especially suited to music sources, for use with any two-channel source (see also Dolby Pro Logic II Music settings below)

•Stereo – See Listening in stereo below
