Input Setup

2-6. Listening Mode Preset sub-menu

With the TX-DS797, you can set a different listening mode for each different signal type that comes from each input source. For example, if your DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video signal is Dolby Digital and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set a different listening mode for each.

This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types of movies or music.
