SURROUND MODES
Your receiver provides a number of listening modes. The following table shows how your receiver responds to the
chosen surround mode setting for various types of source material. The table assumes five full range speakers
plus a subwoofer. If your speaker configuration is different from this make sure you have performed the set up
procedures described previously. When the setup is correctly performed your receiver will automatically route
audio to fewer/smaller speakers with no loss of information. If you wish to temporarily reduce the number of
speakers you are using do not repeat the setup procedure - simply choose the appropriate surround mode.
