Zone 2 (B) Setup - B&K Reference 50 Owner's Manual

Set surround mode operation - Most users will prefer the factory setting - AUTO. In this mode the processor
automatically sets the surround mode to full 7.1 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 select audio mode SURROUND 3 (see AUDIO MODES above). 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 all
front, center, and surround speakers. When the third (PCM) CD starts the processor returns to SURROUND 3.
Note that if a Dolby Digital or DTS source is currently playing and you change the audio mode the processor will
stay in the selected audio mode until you select another input or turn the processor off and on. In MANUAL mode
the chosen audio 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 to 7.1 speakers. Note that the surround channel information is not lost. It is simply mixed into the front
speakers.
