About the listening modes

As explained in Placing the speakers on
page 11, there are two basic surround speaker
setup options available. Of course you can
select any of the listening modes regardless of
how you place your speakers, but you will
achieve the best surround effect by using the
listening modes in conjunction with your
speaker setup:
• Standard surround 5-spot setup – Use
the Standard (Listening in surround sound
on page 38) and Advanced (Using the
Advanced Surround effects on page 39)
surround listening modes with this setup.
• Front surround 3-spot setup – See Using
Front Surround on page 39 for the options
available with this speaker setup.
Make sure you have completed Using the
Room Setup on page 27. For a more detailed
surround sound setup, see Using the System
Setup menu on page 58.
• Certain features explained in this section
may not be possible depending on the
source (for example, 88.2 / 96 kHz sources),
or a conflicting system setting. See Error
Messages on page 76 for more on this.

Auto listening mode

The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to
listen to any source as it was mastered: the
output from the speakers mirrors the channels
from the source material.
SURROUND
• Press SURROUND to select the 'Auto'
listening mode.
If the source is Dolby Digital or DTS, the
2 DIGITAL or DTS indicator on the front panel
lights.
• Any previously active Dolby Pro Logic or
Advanced Surround mode is canceled
when Auto listening mode is selected.
