Listening to your system
Choosing the listening mode
This receiver offers a variety of listening modes to
accommodate playback of various audio formats. Choose one
according to your speaker environment or the source.
While listening to a source, press the listening mode
button repeatedly to select a listening mode you want.
The listening mode is shown on the display on the front
panel.
Important
The listening modes and many features described in this
section may not be available depending on the current
source, settings and status of the receiver.
Auto playback
The simplest, most direct listening option is the AUTO
SURROUND feature. With this, the receiver automatically
detects what kind of source you’re playing and selects
multichannel or stereo playback as necessary.
Press
AUTO/DIRECT
repeatedly until AUTO SURROUND
shows briefly in the display (it will then show the decoding
or playback format). Check the digital format indicators in
the display to see how the source is being processed.
Note
Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded accordingly
using NEO:6 CINEMA or DOLBY PLIIx MOVIE (see
Listening in surround sound
below for more on these
decoding formats).
When listening to the ADAPTER input, the S.R AIR feature
is selected automatically (see Using the Advanced surround
on page 35 for more on this).
Listening in surround sound
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.
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 you select STEREO ALC (Auto Level Control stereo
mode), this unit equalizes playback sound levels if each sound
level varies with the music source recorded in a portable
audio player.
When you select STEREO, you will hear the source through
just the front left and right speakers (and possibly your
subwoofer depending on your speaker settings). Dolby Digital
and DTS multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo.
The following modes provide basic surround sound for stereo
and multichannel sources.
Explanatory notes
No: No connected / Yes: Connected / Two: Two speakers are
connected / –: Whether connected or no
a. If surround back channel processing (page 36) is switched off,
or the surround back speakers are set to NO, DOLBY PLIIx
becomes DOLBY PLII (5.1 channel sound).
