When a PCM signal is received, the PCM message and the sampling rate (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz or 96kHz) will appear.
When only two channels – left and right – are present, the analog surround modes may be used to decode the signal into the remaining channels. If you would prefer a different surround format than the native signal’s digital encoding, press the Surround Modes Button to display the Surround Modes menu (see Figure 26 in the Basic Manual).
The Auto Select option uses the native signal’s digital encoding, e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD or

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
You may select a different mode. The choice of surround modes depends on the number of speakers in your system.
•• Virtual Surround: Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference or Wide
•• Stereo:
•• Movie: Logic 7 Movie, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie
•• Music: Logic 7 Music, DTS Neo:6 Music, Dolby Pro Logic II Music, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
•• Video Game: Logic 7 Game, Dolby Pro Logic II Game, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game
Once you have programmed the surround mode for each type of audio, select the line from the Surround Modes menu to override the AVR’s automatic surround mode selection. The AVR will use the same surround mode the next time the source is selected.
Please refer to Table A13 in the appendix for more information on which surround modes are available with different bitstreams.
Dolby Surround Settings
Some additional settings are available for Dolby modes. When the Dolby Pro Logic II or IIx Music modes have been selected, choose the Edit submenu to adjust the Center Width, Dimension and Panorama settings. See Figure 27.
Figure 27 – Dolby Pro Logic II/IIx Music Mode Settings
Center Width: This setting affects how vocals sound through the three front speakers. A higher number (up to 7) focuses the vocal information tightly on the center channel. Lower numbers broaden the vocal soundstage. Use the M N Buttons to adjust.
Dimension: This setting affects the depth of the surround presentation, allowing you to “move” the sound toward the front or rear of the room. The setting of “0” is a neutral default. Setting “F-3” moves the sound toward the front of the room, while setting “R-3” moves the sound toward the rear. Use the M N Buttons to adjust.
Panorama: With the Panorama mode turned ON, some of the sound from the front speakers is moved to the surround speakers, creating an enveloping “wraparound” effect. Each press of the OK Button toggles the setting on or off.
