LISTENING MODES

The AV2 has a large selection of listening modes to choose from. The list of available listening modes is broken into two parts – the Mode Family
and the Mode. The available listening modes vary depending upon the Mode Family selections, the input setup and the incoming audio signal.
The AV2 features the ability to turn off selected listening mode families so that those options do not appear in the list of available listening modes.
See the "Surround Configuration" section, found later in this chapter, for more information. The AV2 also features the ability to modify elements of
the Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic II listening modes to better suit your listening preference. See the "Dolby Configuration" section found
later in this chapter for more information.
