About the listening modes

As explained in Home theater sound setup on page 23, 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 Advanced Surround on page 26) surround listening modes1 with this setup.

•Front surround 3-spot setup – See Using Front Surround on page 26 for the options1 available with this speaker setup.

Make sure you have completed Setting the channel levels on page 23. For a more detailed surround sound setup, see Choosing your surround settings on page 24.

Listening in surround sound

You can listen to stereo or multichannel sources in surround sound. Surround sound is generated from stereo sources using one of the Dolby Pro Logic decoding modes.

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.
