Listening to your system
Important
• The listening modes and many features described in
this section may not be available depending on the
current source, settings and status of the receiver.
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. The receiver automatically
detects what kind of source you're playing and selects
multichannel or stereo playback as necessary.
•
While listening to a source, press
press AUTO/ALC/DIRECT (AUTO SURR/ALC/STREAM
2
DIRECT)
for auto playback of a source.
AUTO SURROUND shows briefly in the display before
showing the decoding or playback format. Check the
digital format indicators in the front panel display to see
how the source is being processed.
• If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround
encoded, the proper decoding format will
automatically be selected and shows in the display.
• When listening to the FM radio, the Neural THX
feature is selected automatically (see Using Neural
THX on page 51 for more on this).
ALC – In the Auto level control (ALC) mode, this receiver
equalizes playback sound levels.
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.
2 • For more options using this button, see Using Stream Direct on page 59.
• The AUTO SURROUND mode cannot be selected in the following cases:
– When MULTI CH IN input is selected.
– When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH in Setting the Audio options on page 66.
3 In modes that give 6.1 channel sound, the same signal is heard from both surround back speakers.
4 The STANDARD listening mode cannot be selected in the following cases:
– When headphones are plugged in.
– When MULTI CH IN input is selected.
– When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH in Setting the Audio options on page 66.
5 If surround back channel processing (page 59) is switched OFF, or the surround back speakers are set to NO (this happens automatically if
the Surround back speaker setting on page 91 is set to anything but Normal), 2 Pro Logic IIx becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel sound).
