Selecting a Surround Mode

Selecting a surround mode can be as simple or sophisticated as your individual system and tastes. Feel free to experiment, and you may find a few favorites for certain sources or program types. You can find more detailed information on surround modes in Audio Processing and Surround Sound, on page 33.

To select a surround mode, press the Surround Modes button (front panel or remote). The Surround Modes menu will appear.

Surround Modes – Cable/Sat

Auto Select – AVR Selects Best Mode

Virtual Surround – For Two Speaker Systems

Stereo:	2 CH Stereo
Movie:	Logic 7 Movie
Music:	Logic 7 Music
Video Game:	Logic 7 Game

Press the Up/Down buttons repeatedly until the desired surround-mode category appears: Auto Select, Virtual Surround, Stereo, Movie, Music or Video Game. Press the OK button to change the surround-mode category.

Auto Select: For digital programs, such as a movie recorded with a Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack, the AVR will automatically use the soundtrack’s native surround format. For two-channel analog and PCM programs, the AVR uses the Logic 7 Movie, Logic 7 Music or Logic 7 Game mode, depending on the source.

Virtual Surround: When only two main speakers are present in the system, you can use HARMAN Virtual Surround to create an enhanced soundfield that virtualizes the missing speakers. Select between Wide and Reference modes.

Operating Your AVR

Stereo: When you want two-channel playback, select the number of speakers you want to use for playback:

ss“2 CH Stereo” uses two speakers.

ss“5 CH Stereo” plays the left-channel signal through the front left and surround left speakers, the right-channel signal through the front right and surround right speakers, and a summed mono signal through the center speaker.

ss“7 CH Stereo” follows the same scheme as 5 CH Stereo but adds the surround back left and surround back right speakers. This mode is available only when the surround back speakers are present and have not been reassigned to multizone or front height operation. See Audio Processing and Surround Sound, on page 33, for more information.

playback: Logic 7 Game or Dolby Pro Logic II (IIx/IIz when seven main speakers are present) Game.

Audio Effects

The Audio Effects buttons on the front panel and remote provide settings that let you adjust the Dolby Volume setting, tone controls, LFE trim or EZ Set, Equalization On/Off setting. We recommended that you leave these settings at their default values until you are more familiar with your system. See Audio Effects Button, on page 34, for complete information.

Video Modes

The Video Modes buttons on the front panel and remote provide settings that let you use the AVR’s video processor to fine-tune the picture, if necessary, after making all adjustments on the video display. We recommend that you leave the settings at their defaults until you are completely familiar with the video performance of your system. See Video Processing, on page 34, for complete information.
