Note

When the EXTERNAL INs are connected to the

6 CH decoder for a surround sound such as DTS or Dolby Digital, you can enjoy the corresponding surround sound too. (For details, see the operator’s manual of the component to be connected.)

Before surround playback, first perform the speaker setup procedure on the SETUP menu for optimum performance. (For details, refer to “Modifying the speaker settings” on page 19.)

When the EXTERNAL IN is selected as an input source, the surround modes cannot be selected.

Press the AUTO/MANUAL button to select the surround mode as follows:

•Auto Surround mode—The optimum surround mode is automatically selected depending on the signal format

being input. The Auto indicator lights up.

•Manual Surround mode—You can select a different surround mode for the signal being input using the surround mode </> buttons. The Auto indicator turns off.

When the SPEAKER button is set to off, the auto surround mode is invalid.

Even when the auto surround mode is selected and the same type of digital signal format is being input, the optimum surround mode may vary depending on whether the speaker type is set to “N (None)” or not.

When the auto surround mode is selected and the PCM (2 channel) digital signal or the analog stereo signal is being input, only the stereo mode will be selected.

When the auto surround mode is selected, the surround modes other than the optimum surround mode cannot be selected.

When 96 kHz PCM signal is being input, only the stereo mode will be selected regardless of selecting either the auto surround mode or the manual surround mode.
