2Press SIGNAL SEL (SIGNAL SELECT) repeatedly to select DVD 7.1ch.

To cancel playback from the multichannel inputs, use the SIGNAL SEL (SIGNAL SELECT) button to select a different input signal.

•When playback from the multichannel inputs is selected, you can’t use the SPEAKER, INPUT ATT, TONE, and MIDNIGHT/LOUDNESS buttons, as well as the Standard, Advanced Surround, and Stereo/Direct sound modes.

•When playback from the multichannel

inputs is selected, only the volume and channel levels can be set.

Using Re-Equalization

Re-equalization compensates for the effect of reproducing sounds in a smaller room that have been originally processed for a large movie theatre that can handle lots of high frequencies. Both the front and the center channels were originally mixed to give normal sound behind a heavy projection screen, and might sound unnaturally bright with a home theater setup. Use the Re-equalization feature to even out the sound if you feel that movie soundtracks are sounding slightly harsh.

•Press the Re-EQ button on the front panel.

The receiver automatically switches to Standard mode and Re-equalization is applied. Press Re- EQ again to switch Re-equalization off.

•You can't use the NEO:6 Music and Pro Logic II Music modes when Re-equalization is on.

•If STEREO or one of the Advanced Surround modes is selected, Re-equaliza- tion is automatically cancelled. Selecting speaker system B will also cancel Re- equalization.

•Re-equalization is not applied to the headphone mix.
