Listening Modes
The three listening mode types on the receiver are explained here (to select listening modes see page 43). The kind
of playback you can get in the three modes depends on what kind of a source (DVD, etc.) you are using. The basic
distinction is between 2 channel sources and multichannel sources. The MOVIE and MUSIC modes that are
available to you will also differ according to your source and which SB CH MODE you choose. This is explained
below as well.
For home theater the MOVIE and MUSIC listening modes are designed to deliver realistic and powerful
multichannel surround sound that recreates the movie theater or concert experience. The first four MOVIE modes
(THX CINEMA, 2PRO LOGIC II (MOVIE), 2PRO LOGIC, NEO:6 CINEMA) and first two MUSIC modes (2PRO
LOGIC II MUSIC, NEO:6 MUSIC) incorporate pure decoding of the signal. That is they present it as it was recorded in
the sound studio. The other modes are DSP modes. They add some type of effect to the signal. You may need to
experiment with these modes to see which suit your home system and personal tastes.
The MUSIC and STEREO modes are designed to be used with music sources but some MUSIC modes are also
suitable for film soundtracks. Again, try different modes with various soundtracks to see which you like but you
must choose one of the MOVIE and MUSIC listening modes in order to get surround sound.
Depending on your setup, in STEREO mode only the front two speakers, and sometimes the subwoofer (if you have
one), are used.
Stereo modes
When a source is played in this mode, it plays 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.
STEREO
In STEREO mode the audio plays according to the surround setup settings and you can still use ACOUSTIC CAL
EQ, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, AUDIO SCALER mode, and TONE Control functions.
DIRECT
In DIRECT mode, the audio bypasses all types of signal processing to remain as close to the source audio quality
as possible.
Memo:
If you switch on ACOUSTIC CAL EQ, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, AUDIO SCALER mode, and TONE Con-
trol when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically switches to STEREO.
