Home theater sound
Using this system you can enjoy listening to
sources, analog or digital, in either stereo or
surround sound.
• Except for mute, the tone controls (bass/
treble) and Quiet and Midnight listening,
the features in this section can't be used
with DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD
sources.

Auto listening mode

The Auto listening mode is the simplest way
to listen to any source as it was mastered: the
output from the speakers mirrors the
channels in the source material.
AUTO
• Press AUTO to select the 'Auto'
listening mode.
If the source is Dolby Digital or DTS, the
2 DIGITAL or DTS indicator on the front
panel lights.
• Any previously active Dolby Pro Logic or
Advanced Surround mode is cancelled
when Auto listening mode is selected.

Listening in surround sound

You can listen to any source—stereo or
multichannel, analog or digital—in surround
sound. Surround sound is generated from
stereo sources using one of the Dolby Pro
Logic decoding modes.
SURROUND
ENTER
• Press SURROUND repeatedly to select
a listening mode (or press SURROUND
then use the (cursor up/down)
buttons).
The listening mode choices that appear in the
display will vary according to the type of
source that's playing.
• Auto – Auto listening mode (see above)
• Dolby Digital / DTS – Dolby Digital or
DTS decoding (depending on the source).
For a multichannel source, this will be the
same as Auto.
• Pro Logic – 4.1 channel surround sound
for use with any two-channel source
• PL II Movie – Pro Logic II 5.1 channel
surround sound, especially suited to
movie sources, for use with any two-
channel source
