Surround Mode Operation

This menu allows you to set the level of automation your receiver will apply in choosing a surround mode and
make a special setup for stereo listening. Check that you are in USER PREFERENCE SETUP and that the remote
is in AUDIO mode.
Set Surround Operation - Most users wll prefer the factory setting - AUTOMATIC. In this mode the receiver
automatically sets the surround mode to full 5.1 channel operation (or as many as permitted by your speaker
setup) whenever a Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is detected regardless of what surround mode you have
selected. For example, load your CD changer with a normal PCM CD, a DTS CD, and another normal PCM CD
and set the surround mode to 3-STEREO. While the PCM CD is playing you will get sound from the front and
center speakers only. When the disc changes to the DTS CD you will get sound from front, center, and rear. When
the third (PCM) CD starts the receiver returns to 3-STEREO. Note that if a Dolby Digital or DTS source is currently
playing and you change the surround mode the receiver will stay in the selected surround mode until you change
to another disc. In MANUAL mode the chosen surround mode remains set regardless of the bitstream detected. In
the above example only the front and center speakers would be used on all three CDs even though the DTS CD
was capable of providing full 5 channel sound. Note that the rear channel information is not lost. It is simply mixed
into the front speakers.
