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 in the source material.
If you set up the system for Front surround (page 6), the Front Surround modes will give the best results (see Using Front Stage Surround Advance on page 27).
