Selecting a source

You can use either the front panel buttons or the remote
control to select what you want to listen to; your DVD
player, the sound from your TV, the built-in radio tuner,
and so on.

• If the channel level has been raised using the
channel level settings (see page 17), it's possible that
the volume level will not go all the way up to MAX
with a sound mode on. This is indicated by a blinking
volume indicator in the display.

Using the Auto listening mode

The simplest way to listen to any source is using the Auto
listening mode. This lets the receiver choose a default
setting depending on the kind of source playing.
AUTO
• While listening to a source, press AUTO (front
panel or remote) to select Auto listening mode.
Depending on the kind of source you're listening to, 2 ch,
Multich or 1 ch is automatically selected:
• 2 ch – Sound plays through the front left and right
speakers only (used for two-channel Dolby Digital,
DTS, PCM or analog sources).
• Multi ch – Sound plays through all the speakers used
in the multichannel source (used for multichannel
Dolby Digital or DTS sources).
• 1 ch – Sound plays through the center speaker only
(used for dual mono Dolby Digital or single channel
DTS sources).
