Auto listening mode

The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to listen to any source as it was mastered: the output from the speakers mirrors the channels in the source material.

Press AUTO to select the ‘Auto’ listening mode.

If the source is Dolby Digital or DTS, the

Any previously active Dolby Pro Logic or Advanced Surround mode is cancelled when Auto listening mode is selected.

Listening in surround sound

You can listen to any source—stereo or multichannel, analog or digital—in surround sound. Surround sound is generated from stereo sources using one of the Dolby Pro Logic decoding modes.
