About the listening modes

As explained in Placing the speakers on

page 11, there are two basic surround speaker setup options available. Of course you can select any of the listening modes regardless of how you place your speakers, but you will achieve the best surround effect by using the listening modes in conjunction with your speaker setup:

•Standard surround 5-spot setup – Use the Standard (Listening in surround sound on page 38) and Advanced (Using the Advanced Surround effects on page 39) surround listening modes with this setup.

•Front surround 3-spot setup – See Using Front Surround on page 39 for the options available with this speaker setup.

Make sure you have completed Using the Room Setup on page 27. For a more detailed surround sound setup, see Using the System Setup menu on page 58.

•Certain features explained in this section may not be possible depending on the source (for example, 88.2 / 96 kHz sources), or a conflicting system setting. See Error Messages on page 76 for more on this.

Auto listening mode

The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to listen to any source as it was mastered: the output from the speakers mirrors the channels from the source material.

SURROUND

•Press SURROUND to select the ‘Auto’ listening mode.

If the source is Dolby Digital or DTS, the

2DIGITAL or DTS indicator on the front panel lights.

•Any previously active Dolby Pro Logic or Advanced Surround mode is canceled when Auto listening mode is selected.
