Adjustment Using the SET UP Button

The SET UP button allows you to make the following adjustments other than specifying the speaker parameters.

6.1 CH DECODING

This parameter lets you enjoy the appropriate surround sound from the surround channels. The default setting is “AUTO”.

1Press SET UP.

2 Press the cursor buttons ( or ) to select “6.1 CH DECODING”.

3Turn the jog dial to select “AUTO”, “ON” or “OFF”.

Notes

•You can set this parameter using 6.1 CH DECODING on the front panel.

•When set to “AUTO”, the receiver performs 6.1 channel matrix decoding only if 6.1 channel signals decode flag is ON.

•When set to “ON”, the receiver performs 6.1 channel matrix decoding only if the surround signals are 2 channel, regardless of the 6.1 channel decode flag.

•When set to “OFF”, the receiver does not perform 6.1 channel matrix decoding.

•During “A.F.D.” this parameter is always set to “AUTO”, and you cannot change the setting.

•When the 6.1 channel matrix decoding is performed and the surround back speaker is set to “NO”, you can enjoy the surround back signals with Virtual 3D technology, even without an actual surround back speaker (the box around SB does not light up). If the surround back speaker is set to “YES”, the surround back signals are output through the actual speaker ( SB lights up). Please note that you can set the surround back speaker only when the center speaker is set to “NO” (page 20).
