SELECTING A SURROUND MODE

Surround mode selection 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. More detailed information on surround modes may be found in the Advanced Functions section.

To select a surround mode, press the Surround Modes Button (front panel or remote). The Surround Modes menu will appear (see Figure 29). Use the 5/1 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 type’s surround mode.

Figure 29 – Surround Modes Menu

Auto Select: For digital programs, such as movies recorded with a Dolby Digital soundtrack, the AVR will automatically use the native surround format. For 2-channel analog and PCM programs, the AVR uses Logic 7 Movie, Music or Game mode, depending on the source.

Virtual Surround: When only two main speakers are present in the system, Harman Virtual Surround may be used to create an enhanced sound field that virtualizes the missing speakers. Select between Wide and Reference modes.

Stereo: When 2-channel playback is desired, select the number of speakers used for playback:

•2 CH STEREO uses only two speakers. As described on page 35, you may select Analog Bypass mode for a pure analog signal when analog audio inputs are in use. Turn off the Tone Control setting in the Audio Effects submenu, and the AVR does the rest.
