Using the Advanced surround effects

% Press ADV (ADVANCED SURROUND) repeatedly to select a listening mode.

! ACTION – Designed for action movies with dynamic soundtracks

! DRAMA – Designed for movies with lots of dialog

! ADVANCED GAME – Suitable for video games

! SPORTS – Suitable for sports programs

! CLASSICAL – Gives a large concert hall-type sound

! SOUND RETRIEVER AIR – Suitable for listening to the sound from a Bluetooth wireless technology device. The

SOUND RETRIEVER AIR listening mode can only be selected when the BT AUDIO input.

! PHONES SURR – When listening through headphones, you can still get the effect of overall surround.

! ECO MODE 1 – Select this to play for example music that has a high audio level with a lower power consump-

tion than usual.

! ECO MODE 2 – Select this to play movies, etc., with a high ratio of low volume scenes and high volume scenes

(a large dynamic ratio) with a lower power consumption than usual. This mode provides greater power savings

than ECO MODE 1.

Notes

! The Front Stage Surround Advance (F.S.SURROUND) function allows you to create natural surround sound

effects using just the front speakers and the subwoofer.

! When ECO MODE 1 or ECO MODE 2 is selected, the front panel’s display lights with the dimmest brightness.

! Since ECO MODE 1 and ECO MODE 2 reduce the power consumption, the speakers are switched in function

of the number of input channels. Because of this, a speaker switching sound (clicking sound) may be pro-

duced when the number of input channels is switched. If this bothers you, switch to a different listening mode.

! When using headphones, SOUND RETRIEVER AIR (only with the BT AUDIO input), PHONES SURR,

ECO MODE 1 and ECO MODE 2 can be selected.

Using Stream Direct

Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the truest possible reproduction of a source. All unneces-

sary signal processing is bypassed, and you’re left with the pure analog or digital sound source.

Processing differs depending on the input signal and whether or not surround back speakers are connected. For

details, see Auto Surround, ALC and Stream Direct with different input signal formats on page 127 .

% While listening to a source, press AUTO (AUTO SURR/ALC/STREAM DIRECT) to select the

mode you want.

Check the digital format indicators in the front panel display to see how the source is being processed.

! AUTO SURROUND – See Auto playback on page 71 .

! ALC – Listening in Auto level control mode (page 71 ).

— When ALC is selected, the effect level can be adjusted using the EFFECT parameter in Setting the Audio

options on page 86 .

! DIRECT – Plays back sound from the source with the least modification next to PURE DIRECT. With DIRECT,

the only modifications added to PURE DIRECT playback are calibration of the sound field by the MCACC sys-

tem and the Phase Control effect.

! PURE DIRECT – Plays back unmodified sound from source with only minimal digital treatment.

Note

When listening through headphones, you can select ALC or PURE DIRECT mode only.
