Listening to your system

About the listening modes

As explained in Placing the speakers on

page 14 and Using the wireless speaker system on page 42, there are several setup options available. However, unless you have connected an extra pair of surround speakers, you should use the Standard (Listening in surround sound on page 45) and Advanced (Using the Advanced Surround effects on page 46) surround listening modes with your setup.

If you have connected an extra pair of surround speakers, the Front Surround modes are available with a 3-spot setup. See Using Front Surround on page 46 for more on this.

Make sure you have completed Using the Room Setup on page 32. For a more detailed surround sound setup, see Using the System Setup menu on page 65.

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 87 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.
