RV-8

PREFERRED LISTENING MODE SELECTION

The INPUT SETUP menus include four preferred listening mode
selection parameters labeled 2-CH, DOLBY D, DTS(-ES), 5.1a and
MIC. These parameters are used to select a preferred listening mode
for 2-channel, Dolby Digital, DTS(-ES), 5.1a and LIVE! input sources.
The RV-8 automatically activates the selected listening mode
whenever a new input is selected or a new input source is present.
MODE AND BUTTONS
The front-panel and remote-control Mode arrow buttons can be
used to audition listening modes with the current Main Zone input
source. Pressing these buttons scrolls up ( ) or down ( ) through
listening modes available for the current Main Zone source.
Listening modes are scrolled in the order that appears in the MODE
ADJUST menu.
For example, if a 2-channel input source is present, press the
arrow buttons to scroll through available 2-channel listening
modes. The selected listening mode appears in the bottom-left
corner of the Main Zone two-line status.
Dynamic Listening Mode Selection
Dynamic listening modes are only available under certain condi-
tions. For example, many of the dynamic modes are only available
when the RV-8 is configured for seven main output channels and
source material with specific encoding is played. All dynamic
listening modes are available through the remote control or front
panel Mode button.
See "Dynamic Listening Modes" on page 3-13 for a complete
listing of dynamic listening modes.

LISTENING MODE SELECTION BUTTONS

The remote control listening mode selection buttons can be used
to activate the Logic 7 Film, Dolby, DTS(-ES), THX, Logic 7 Music,
or Logic 7 TV listening mode that is appropriate for the Main Zone
input source. For instance, if the L7 button is pressed while a
2-channel source is present, the L7 FILM listening mode is
activated. The table below indicates the listening modes associated
with each mode family selection button.
