Dolby Digital decoding is auto-detected and cannot be overridden. You may, however, select a 2 channel downmix of 5.1 channel recordings. In a 6.1ch or 7.1 ch system, you can also choose Dolby Surround EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cin- ema (7.1ch only), or Rotel XS processing for center back channels.

NOTE: In addition to the options that follow, you can press the 2CH button on the front panel or the remote to toggle between 2-channel downmix and multichannel playback.

•On a 5.1 system. Press the SUR+ but- ton on the remote, then press the +/– but- tons to change between DD 5.1 channel or DD 2.0 channel downmix playback.

•On a 6.1 system.

You should typically select Surround EX or discs that are labeled Dolby Digital Surround EX. For standard 5.1 channel discs, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music or Rotel XS processing will provide a more diffuse surround effect than the more highly local- ized Dolby EX decoding and will prob- ably be the better 6.1 channel options for non-Surround EX discs.

You should typically se- lect Surround EX or discs that are labeled Dolby Digital Surround EX. For standard

5.1channel discs, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Mu- sic or Rotel XS processing will provide a more diffused surround effect than the more highly localized Dolby EX decoding and may be the better 7.1 channel options for non-Surround EX discs. Selecting DD
