Use the LISTEN MODE knob or LISTEN MODE % / fi keys to
select the listening mode.
The listening mode settings are stored separately for each input. If
the input mode is set to full auto ("AUTO DETECT" lights), the
receiver selects the optimal listening mode automatically based on
the type of input signal and the speaker settings.
Each turn of the LISTEN MODE knob or press of the LISTEN
MODE % / fi keys switches the setting as listed below.

Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc :
Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc contains identification
signals. When you choose FULL AUTO during "Input mode set-
tings" (8), this amplifier detects the identification signals and
selects an optimum LISTEN mode automatically.
Sometimes we find some discs which are Dolby Digital Surround EX
compliant discs but do not contain the identification signals. In this
case, select one of the LISTEN modes which are for 6.1 or 7.1
channel surround mode.
