Setting the Up Mix function

In a 7.1-channel surround system with

surround speakers placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side.

The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround speakers with the surround back speakers so that the surround sound is heard

from diagonally to the rear as it should be.1

•Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers in the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as recommended in the example on page 24.

•Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound source, in some cases it

may not be possible to achieve good

results. In this case, set the setting to OFF.

• SB CH AUTO – Matrix decoding

processing for generating the surround

back component from the surround

component is switched automatically.

Matrix decoding processing is only

performed when surround back channel

signals are detected in the input signals.

• SB CH OFF – Matrix decoding processing
