Dolby Digital 2.0 discs, Mpeg Multichannel discs

XS processing will provide a more diffuse surround effect than the more highly local- ized Dolby EX decoding and will probably be the better 6.1 channel options for non- Surround EX discs. Selecting DD 5.1 forces the center back channel processing off for conventional 5.1 channel playback. You can also repeatedly press the DOLBY PLII/ 3ST button on the front panel until the de- sired center back channel option is selected.

•On a 7.1 system. Press the SUR+ but- ton on the remote, then use the +/– but- tons to step through six optons: DD 2.0 channel downmix, DD 5.1 channel, DD Sur- round EX center back processing, DD with Pro Logic IIx Music center back process- ing, DD with Pro Logic IIx Cinema back channel processing, or DD with Rotel XS center back processing. You should typi- cally 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 pro- vide a more diffused surround effect than the more highly localized Dolby EX decod- ing and may be the better 7.1 channel options for non-Surround EX discs. Select- ing DD 5.1 forces the center back chan- nel processing off for conventional 5.1 channel playback. You can also repeatedly press the DOLBY PLII/3ST button on the front panel until the desired center back chan- nel option is selected.

NOTE: When playing any Dolby Digital source, you can select one of three dynamic range control settings. See the Dynamic Range topic in the Other Settings section of this manual.
