About relations between speaker layout and Surround/DSP modes

Available Surround/DSP modes will vary depending on how many

speakers are used with this receiver.

Make sure that you have set the speakers information correctly (see pages 15 to 18).

•If only front speakers are connected, you cannot use the Surround modes.

•For Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you can select “PLII MUSIC” or ”PLII MOVIE” by pressing SURROUND.
