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) repeatedly until the desired option appears:
SURR: AUTO SELECT, SURR: VIRTUAL, SURR: STEREO, SURR: MOVIE,
SURR: MUSIC or SURR: GAME. The option will be displayed in the Lower Line of the Message Display, and the Surround Modes menu will appear on screen (see Figure 62).

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 is programmed to default to Logic 7 Movie mode.
Virtual Surround: When only two main speakers are present in the system, Dolby Virtual Surround may be used to create an enhanced soundfield that virtualizes the missing speakers. Select between Wide and Reference modes, depending on your preferences.
Stereo: When
•2 CH STEREO for playback through only two speakers. As described on page 45, you may select Analog Bypass mode for a pure analog signal when analog audio inputs are in use. Simply set the Tone Control setting in the Audio Effects submenu to Off, and the AVR does the rest.
•5 CH STEREO for playing the
•7 CH STEREO follows the same scheme as 5 CH STEREO, but adds the surround back speakers to the mix. This mode is only available when the surround back speakers are present and have not been reassigned to multizone operation. See the Initial Setup section for more information.
Movie: Select an analog surround mode for movie playback: Logic 7 Movie, DTS Neo:6 Cinema or Dolby Pro Logic II (IIx when seven main speakers are present). The desired mode may also be selected when a compatible digital surround mode is received.
