While you can specify default surround processing modes for each input, there are times when you may wish to select a different mode for a particular recording. For example, when watching a classic movie from the 1940s, you may prefer to hear it in mono using only the center channel speaker.

Touch the Mode option on the Home page to open the Mode Select menu, which displays a complete list of processing modes. Modes that are grayed out cannot be applied to the current audio source. For instance, a mode designed for a stereo signal is not available while listening to a multi-channel Dolby Digital audio track.

Touching the up or down arrows scrolls through the list of modes. Touch any mode (that isn’t grayed out) to select it. The SSP processing changes to the newly-selected mode. Press the Back button to return to the Home page. The available modes are described in Table 2.
