Chapter 5:
Listening to your system
Important
•Certain features explained in this section will not be possible depending on the source (for example, PCM 88.2 kHz /
96 kHz, DTS 96 kHz (24 bit) or WMA9 Pro sources).
If you connected surround back speakers, see also Using surround back channel processing
on page 31.2
The following modes provide basic surround sound for stereo and multichannel sources.
AUTO SURR F.S.SURRSTEREO/ STANDARD ADV.SURR
SOUND
Auto playback
The simplest, most direct listening option is the Auto Surround feature. With this, the receiver automatically detects what kind of source you’re playing and selects multichannel or
stereo playback as necessary.1
AUTO SURR F.S.SURRSTEREO/ STANDARD ADV.SURR
•While listening to a source, press AUTO SURR for auto playback of a source.
Press repeatedly until AUTOSURR. shows briefly in the display (it will then show the decoding or playback format). Check the digital format indicators in the display to see how the source is being processed.
•When listening to XM Radio, AUTO SURR selects the XM HD Surround feature (page 54).
Listening in surround sound
Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in surround sound. However, the options available will depend on your speaker setup and the type of source you’re listening to.
•While listening to a source, press
STANDARD.
If necessary, press repeatedly to select a listening mode.
•If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround encoded, the proper decoding format will automatically be selected and shows in the display.3
With two channel sources, you can select from:
•2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE – Up to 7.1 channel sound, especially suited to movie sources
•2 Pro Logic IIx MUSIC – Up to 7.1 channel sound, especially suited to music sources
•2Pro Logic IIx GAME – Up to 7.1 channel sound, especially suited for video games
•2 PRO LOGIC – 4.1 channel surround sound (sound from the surround speakers is mono)
•Neo:6 CINEMA – 6.1 channel sound, especially suited to movie sources
Note
1• Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded accordingly using Neo:6 CINEMA or 2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE (see Listening in surround sound above for more on these decoding formats).
•The Auto Surround feature is canceled if you connect headphones or select the multichannel analog inputs.
2If surround back processing (page 31) is switched to OFF, or the surround back speakers are set to NO (this happens automat- ically if the Surround back speaker setting on page 35 is set to anything but Normal (SB)), 2Pro Logic IIx becomes 2Pro Logic II (5.1 channel sound).
3 If surround back processing (page 31) is switched to OFF, or the surround back speakers are set to NO (page 41), 2Pro Logic IIx becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel sound).
