Using the Surround Modes

Activating the Surround Modes

Available Surround modes vary depending on the incoming signals.

Activating one of the Surround modes for a source automatically recalls the memorized settings and adjustments (see pages 19 to 25).

Auto Surround Function

This receiver has Auto Surround Function, which allows you to enjoy the Surround mode simply by selecting the source (with digital input selected for that source).

Auto Surround works...

•When multi-channel signal is detected, an appropriate Surround mode will be turned on.

•When Dolby Digital 2-channel with surround signals is detected, “PLII MOVIE” will be selected.

•When Dolby Digital 2-channel without surround signals or Linear PCM signal is detected, “SURROUND OFF” will be selected.

Note:

This function does not take effect in the following cases:

–While playing an analog source,

–While selecting any of DSP modes (see page 29), and

–While listening with the headphones—“HEADPHONE” or “3D H PHONE” (see pages 11 and 27).
