Using the surround back channel
(Extended mode)
• Default setting: Extended ON
You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby
Digital EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use
6.1 or 7.1 decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded
material). With 5.1 encoded sources, a surround back
channel will be generated, but the material may sound
better in the 5.1 format for which it was originally
encoded (in which case, you can simply switch the
Extended mode off).
The table below indicates when you will hear the
surround back channel when playing various kinds of
ì
sources. ( =Sound plays through surround back
speaker(s))
