Dolby Digital Surround EX
discs
Dolby Digital decoding is auto-detected and
cannot be overridden. You may, however,
select a 2 channel downmix of 5.1 channel
recordings. In a 6.1 ch or 7.1 ch system, you
can also choose Dolby Surround EX, Dolby
Pro Logic IIx Music, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cin-
ema (7.1ch only), or Rotel XS processing for
center back channels.
NOTE: In addition to the options that follow, you
can press the 2CH button on the front panel
or the remote to toggle between 2-channel
downmix and multichannel playback.
• On a 5.1 system. Press the SUR+ but-
ton on the remote, then press the +/– but-
tons to change between DD 5.1 channel
or DD 2.0 channel downmix playback.
• On a 6.1 system. Press the SUR+ button
on the remote, then use the +/– buttons to
step through fi ve options: DD 2.0 channel
downmix, DD 5.1 channel, DD Surround
EX center back processing, DD with Pro
Logic IIx Music center back processing
or DD with Rotel XS center back process-
ing. You should typically select Surround
EX or discs that are labeled Dolby Digital
Surround EX. For standard 5.1 channel
discs, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music or Rotel
XS processing will provide a more diffuse
surround effect than the more highly local-
ized Dolby EX decoding and will prob-
ably be the better 6.1 channel options
for non-Surround EX discs. Selecting DD
5.1 forces the center back channel pro-
cessing off for conventional 5.1 channel
playback. You can also repeatedly press
the DOLBY PLIIx Mode button on the front
panel until the desired center back chan-
nel option is selected.
• On a 7.1 system. Press the SUR+ button
on the remote, then use the +/– buttons to
step through six options: DD 2.0 channel
downmix, DD 5.1 channel, DD Surround
EX center back processing, DD with Pro
Logic IIx Music center back processing,
DD with Pro Logic IIx Cinema back chan-
nel processing, or DD with Rotel XS center
back processing. You should typically se-
lect Surround EX or discs that are labeled
Dolby Digital Surround EX. For standard
5.1 channel discs, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Mu-
sic or Rotel XS processing will provide a
more diffused surround effect than the
more highly localized Dolby EX decoding
and may be the better 7.1 channel options
for non-Surround EX discs. Selecting DD
5.1 forces the center back channel pro-
cessing off for conventional 5.1 channel
playback. You can also repeatedly press
the DOLBY PLIIx Mode button on the front
panel until the desired center back chan-
nel option is selected.
NOTE: When playing any Dolby Digital
source, you can select one of three dynamic
range control settings. See the Dynamic
Range topic in the Other Settings section of
this manual.
