Listening to your system
Using Stream Direct
Use the Stream Direct modes when you want
to hear the truest possible reproduction of a
source. All unnecessary signal processing is
bypassed.
AUTO SURR
•
While listening to a source, press AUTO
SURR to select Stream Direct mode.
• AUTOSURR. – See Auto playback on
page 27.
• DIRECT – Sources are heard according to
the settings made in the Surround Setup
(speaker setting, channel level, speaker
distance), as well as with dual mono,
Center Width, Dimension and Panorama
settings. You will hear sources according
to the number of channels in the signal.
For analog sources, only Channel Level can
be set. All other digital processing can not
be set.
Listening with Acoustic
Calibration EQ

Auto MCACC Setup or EQ Auto Setting)

Using surround back channel
processing
• Default setting: SB ON
You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for
example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES), or you
can choose to always use 6.1 decoding (for
example, with 5.1 encoded material). With 5.1
encoded sources, a surround back channel
will be generated, but the material may sound
better in the 5.1 format for which it was origi-
nally encoded (in which case, you can simply
switch surround back processing off).
The table below indicates when you will hear
the surround back channel (
through surround back speaker(s)).
•
Press SB ch (SB ch PROCESSING) to select
a surround back channel option.
Each press cycles through the following:
• SB ON – 6.1 decoding is always used (for
example, a surround back channel will be
generated for 5.1 encoded material)
• SB AUTO – Automatically switches to 6.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for
example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES)
• SB OFF – Maximum 5.1 playback
