Selecting a Sound Mode

To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the set up procedures described in "Setting Up for
Surround Sound" (starting on page 24) before using the sound modes. This is particularly important when using the
(Dolby) Digital or DTS sources. When using the sound modes, using SPEAKERS A will give the best results. If you use
SPEAKERS B the sound will be down mixed to the two front B speakers and the surround sound effect will be lost.

in the range of 10 to 90 by pressing EFFECT –/+ (The default
setting is 70). Also, the effect level can be set in each
ADVANCED THEATER mode by pressing the EFFECT(–/+)

• When a digital input is selected, using some discs with a
huge amount of information may cause the overload
indicator to light up. If the overload indicator is lit in the
THX, ADVANCED THEATER and DSP mode, the signal may
be distorting. To ensure there's no distortion you can switch
to the STANDARD mode.
