Enjoying various types of playback using the listening modes
Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in surround sound. However, the options available will depend
on your speaker setup and the type of source you’re listening to.
To play with surround sound, check “Standard surround sound” or “Using the Advanced surround effects” below
and select the desired mode.
To play with the optimum mode for the input signal, see “Auto playback” or “Using Stream Direct”. (The sound is
played in stereo when 2-channel signals are input, in surround when multi-channel signals are input.)
Important
! The listening modes and many features described in this section may not be available depending on the cur-
rent source, settings and status of the receiver.
Auto playback
There are many ways to listen back to sources using this receiver, but the simplest, most direct listening option
is the Auto Surround feature. The receiver automatically detects what kind of source you’re playing and selects
multichannel or stereo playback as necessary.
% While listening to a source, press AUTO (AUTO SURR/ALC/STREAM DIRECT) for auto
playback of a source.
AUTO SURROUND shows briefly in the display before showing the decoding or playback format. Check the digi-
tal format indicators in the front panel display to see how the source is being processed.
! If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround encoded, the proper decoding format will automatically
be selected and shows in the display.
! When listening to the BT AUDIO input, the SOUND RETRIEVER AIR feature is selected automatically.
ALC – In the Auto level control (ALC) mode, this receiver equalizes playback sound levels.
Also, the low and high frequency sounds, dialogs, surround effects, etc., that are difficult to hear when the vol-
ume is low are adjusted to be optimal for the volume level. This mode is particularly optimum when listening at
night.
OPTIMUM SURR – In the Optimum Surround mode, this receiver automatically optimizes sound balance in each
scene based on actually set volume. The sound balancer controls three major theater sound elements dialogue,
bass and surround with original algorithm.
Notes
! When ALC is selected, the effect level can be adjusted using the EFFECT parameter in Setting the Audio
options on page 79 .
! When the Dolby Atmos content is played, ALC and OPTIMUM SURR cannot be selected.
Standard surround sound
The following modes provide basic surround sound for stereo and multichannel sources.
% While listening to a source, press SURR (STANDARD SURROUND).
If necessary, press repeatedly to select a listening mode.
! If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround encoded, the proper decoding format will automatically
be selected and shows in the display.
! WIDE SURROUND MOVIE and WIDE SURROUND MUSIC cannot be selected when no front wide speaker is
connected.
With two channel sources, you can select from:
! Dolby Surround – Dolby Surround replaces current channel-based upmixing technologies, such as Dolby Pro
Logic II, Pro Logic IIx, and Pro Logic IIz, and uses an approach to upmixing that provides a three-dimensional
listening experience.
! WIDE SURROUND MOVIE – Up to 7.1 channel sound (front wide), especially suited to movie sources
! WIDE SURROUND MUSIC – Up to 7.1 channel sound (front wide), especially suited to music sources
! Neo:X CINEMA – Up to 9.1 channel sound (surround back and front height or surround back and front wide),
especially suited to movie sources
! Neo:X MUSIC – Up to 9.1 channel sound (surround back and front height or surround back and front wide),
especially suited to music sources
! Neo:X GAME – Up to 9.1 channel sound (surround back and front height or surround back and front wide),
especially suited to video games
! STEREO – The audio is heard with your sound settings and you can still use the audio options.
With multichannel sources, if you have connected surround back, front height or front wide speakers, you can select
(according to format):
! DTS-ES Matrix or DTS-ES Discrete – Allows you to hear 6.1 channel playback with DTS-ES encoded sources
! Neo:X CINEMA – See above
! Neo:X MUSIC – See above
! Neo:X GAME – See above
! WIDE SURROUND MOVIE – See above
! WIDE SURROUND MUSIC – See above
! STEREO – See above
! Straight Decode – Plays back without the effects above.
Notes
! When listening to 2-channel sources in Neo:X Cinema, Neo:X Music or Neo:X Game mode, you can also adjust
the C.GAIN effect (see Setting the Audio options on page 79 ).
! When listening through headphones, you can select STEREO mode only.
! When playing DSD sources via USB-DAC, the NATIVE DSD mode is set. Other modes cannot be selected.
! When the Dolby Atmos content is played, only STEREO or straight decode can be selected.
! When Dolby Surround is selected, C.SPREAD can be adjusted (page 79 ).
! When Dolby Surround is selected, audio is not output from the front wide speaker and the surround back
speaker when it is the only one connected (set).
