Auto Select: For digital programs, such as movies recorded with a
Dolby Digital soundtrack, the AVR will automatically use the native
surround format. For 2-channel analog and PCM programs, the AVR
uses Logic 7 Movie mode.
Virtual Surround: When only two main speakers are present in the
system, Dolby Virtual Surround may be used to create an enhanced
soundfield that virtualizes the missing speakers. Select between Wide
and Reference modes.
Stereo: When 2-channel playback is desired, select the number of
speakers used for playback:
• 2 CH STEREO uses only two speakers.As described on page 40,
you may select Analog Bypass mode for a pure analog signal when
analog audio inputs are in use.Turn off the Tone Control setting in the
Audio Effects submenu, and the AVR does the rest.
• 5 CH STEREO plays the left-channel signal through the front
and surround left speakers, the right-channel signal through the right
speakers and a summed mono signal through the center speaker.
• 7 CH STEREO follows the same scheme as 5 CH STEREO, but adds
the surround back speakers.This mode is only available when the
surround back speakers are present and have not been reassigned to
multizone operation. See the Initial Setup section for more information.
Movie: Use when an analog surround mode is desired for movie play-
back: Logic 7 Movie, DTS Neo:6 Cinema or Dolby Pro Logic II (IIx when
seven main speakers are present).
Music: Use when an analog surround mode is desired for music play-
back: Logic 7 Music, DTS Neo:6 Music or Dolby Pro Logic II (IIx when
seven main speakers are present). The Dolby Pro Logic II/IIx Music
mode allows access to a submenu with some additional settings. See
the Advanced Functions section for more information.
Video Game: Use to select an analog surround mode for game
playback: Logic 7 Game, or Dolby Pro Logic II (IIx when seven main
speakers are present) Game.
After you have made your selection, press the Back/Exit Button.
