Using the Surround Modes
Activating the Surround Modes
Available Surround modes vary depending on the incoming signals.
Activating one of the Surround modes for a source automatically
recalls the memorized settings and adjustments (see pages 19 to
25).
Auto Surround Function
This receiver has Auto Surround Function, which allows you to
enjoy the Surround mode simply by selecting the source (with
digital input selected for that source).
Auto Surround works...
• When multi-channel signal is detected, an appropriate Surround
mode will be turned on.
• When Dolby Digital 2-channel with surround signals is detected,
"PLII MOVIE" will be selected.
• When Dolby Digital 2-channel without surround signals or Linear
PCM signal is detected, "SURROUND OFF" will be selected.
Note:
This function does not take effect in the following cases:
– While playing an analog source,
– While selecting any of DSP modes (see page 29), and
– While listening with the headphones—"HEADPHONE" or
"3D H PHONE" (see pages 11 and 27).
Activating the Surround Modes Manually

• Make sure you have selected the analog or digital input mode
correctly.
2 Press SURROUND to activate the Surround

between "AUTO SURROUND" and each Surround mode.
(The surround effect does not change.)
