Chapter 5:
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 SURR
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 SURR 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 2PLIIx 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 32 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.
