Listening to your system

About the listening modes

As explained in Home theater sound setup on page 16, 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 25) and Advanced (Using the Advanced Surround effects on page 26) surround listening modes with this setup.

•Front surround 3-spot setup – See Using Front Surround on page 26 for the options available with this speaker setup.

Make sure you have completed Using the Room Setup on page 16. For a more detailed surround sound setup, see Using the System Setup menu on page 43.

Note

•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 65 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 in the source material.
