Playing Media from a Roku Streaming Stick

When you connect a Roku Streaming Stick to the AVR’s MHL/HDMI input and join it

with your home Wi-Fi network, you can use the AVR’s remote to search for and control

streaming media. NOTE: Your home network must be Wi-Fi for you to be able to use the

Roku Streaming Stick with your AVR.

1. After connecting the Roku Streaming Stick to the AVR’s MHL/HDMI input, select the

AVR’s MHL source. The Roku Streaming Stick’s video output should be displayed on

your TV.

2. Follow the Roku instructions for joining the Roku Streaming Stick with your Wi-Fi

network, using the Roku remote.

3. Once the Roku Streaming Stick is joined with your Wi-Fi network, the AVR remote

buttons shown below will perform the same functions as their counterparts on the

Roku remote:

Advanced Functions

Much of the adjusting and conﬁguration your AVR requires is handled automatically, with

little intervention required on your part. You can also customize your AVR to suit your

system and your tastes. In this section we will describe some of the more advanced

adjustments available to you.

Audio Processing and Surround Sound

Audio signals can be encoded in a variety of formats that can affect not only the quality

of the sound but the number of speaker channels and the surround mode. You may also

manually select a different surround mode, when available.

Analog Audio Signals

Analog audio signals usually consist of two channels – left and right.

Your AVR is able to

process two-channel audio signals to produce multichannel surround sound, even

when no surround sound has been encoded in the recording. Among the available

modes are the Dolby Pro Logic II/IIx/IIz, Virtual Speaker, DTS Neo:6, HARMAN NSP,

5 CH and 7 CH Stereo modes. To select one of these modes, press the Surround

Modes button.

Digital Audio Signals

Digital audio signals offer greater ﬂexibility and capacity than analog signals, and

allow the encoding of discrete channel information directly into the signal. The result is

improved sound quality and startling directionality, since each channel’s information is

transmitted discretely. High-resolution recordings sound extraordinarily distortion-free,

especially in the high frequencies.

Surround Modes

Surround-mode selection depends upon the format of the incoming audio signal as well

as your personal taste. Although there is never a time when all of the AVR’s surround

modes are available, there is usually a wide variety of modes available for a given input.

Table A12 in the Appendix, on page 47, offers a brief description of each mode and

indicates the types of incoming signals or digital bitstreams the mode may be used with.

Additional information about the Dolby and DTS modes is available on the companies’

Web sites: www.dolby.com and www.dtsonline.com.

When in doubt, check the jacket of your disc for more information on which surround

modes are available. Usually, nonessential sections of the disc, such as trailers, extra

materials or the disc menu, are available only in Dolby Digital 2.0 (two-channel) or

PCM two-channel mode. If the main title is playing and the display shows one of these

surround modes, look for an audio or language setup section in the disc’s menu. Also,

make sure your disc player’s audio output is set to the original bitstream rather than two-

channel PCM. Stop play and check the player’s output setting.

Multichannel digital recordings are produced in ﬁve-channel, six-channel or seven-

channel formats, with or without a “.1” channel. The channels included in a typical

5.1-channel recording are front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and

LFE (low-frequency effects). The LFE channel is denoted as “.1” to represent the fact that

it is limited to the low frequencies. 6.1-channel recordings add a single surround back

channel, and 7.1-channel recordings add surround back left and surround back right

channels to the 5.1-channel conﬁguration. New formats are available in 7.1-channel

conﬁgurations. Your AVR is able to play the new audio formats, delivering a more exciting

home theater experience.

AVR 1710/AVR 171 only: To use the 6.1- and 7.1-channel surround modes, the surround

back channels must be enabled. See Manual Speaker Setup, on page 30 for more

information.

Digital formats include Dolby Digital 2.0 (two channels only), Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby

Digital EX (6.1), Dolby Digital Plus (7.1), Dolby TrueHD (7.1), DTS-HD High-Resolution

Audio (7.1), DTS-HD Master Audio (7.1), DTS 5.1, DTS-ES (6.1 Matrix and Discrete),

DTS 96/24 (5.1), two-channel PCM modes in 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.1kHz, 96kHz,

176.4kHz or 192kHz, and 5.1 or 7.1 multichannel PCM.

When the AVR receives a digital signal, it detects the encoding method and the number

of channels, which is displayed brieﬂy as three numbers, separated by slashes (e.g.,

“3/2/.1”).
