Listening to your system

Chapter 6:
Listening to your system
Important
• Certain features explained in this section
will not be possible depending on the
source (for example, PCM 88.2 / 96kHz,
DTS 96kHz (24 bit) or WMA 9 Pro sources).

Auto playback

There are many ways to listen back to sources
using this receiver, but for 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
1
necessary.
• While listening to a source, press
STEREO for auto playback of a source.
Press 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
1 • Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded accordingly using Neo:6 CINEMA or 2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE (see Listening
in surround sound above for more on these decoding formats).
• The Auto Surround feature is canceled if you connect headphones or select the multichannel analog inputs.
2 If the Extended mode (page 39) is switched to OFF, or the surround back speakers are set to NO (this happens automatically
if the Surround back speaker setting on page 43 is set to anything but SB NORM.), 2 Pro Logic IIx becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1
channel sound).
3 If the Extended mode (page 39) is switched to OFF, or the surround back speakers are set to NO (page 42), 2 Pro Logic IIx
becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel sound).
