Notes

Surround modes are available when the beam mode is set to a setting other than the stereo or the target mode.

When you select an input source (see page 39), the surround mode used for the previously selected input source is selected.

If the power of this unit is turned off and on again, the surround mode used for the previously selected input source before the power was turned off is selected.

The surround modes are available only when the CINEMA DSP programs are turned off (see page 55) or when the movie program is selected as the CINEMA DSP program (see

page 54).

Only Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie and DTS Neo:6 Cinema are available when the movie program is selected as the CINEMA DSP program (see page 54).

If the surround modes are not available, “Prohibit” appears in the front panel display when you press SURROUND on the remote control.

The surround modes are available only when 2-channel signals are being input. If you try to switch between the surround modes when 5.1 channel signals are being input, “Prohibit” appears in the front panel display.
