To assist in making these settings,the icons in
the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators
E
will change as the speaker type is selected at
each position.When only the inner icon box is
lit, the speaker is set for “small.” When the inner
box and the two outer boxes with circles inside
them are lit, the speaker is set for “large.”When
no indicator appears at a speaker location, that
position is set for “none” or “no” speaker.When
6.1/7.1 system configuration has been selected
the Surround Back icons SBL/SBR will only turn
on when the surround mode selected provides
for surround back signals, i.e. with DTS Neo:6
without THX, Dolby Digital with THX
(THX Surround EX) and DTS.
Note:These icons are available only when
making setup changes without the use of the
full OSD mode.
As an example, in the Figure below, all speakers
are set for “large,”and a subwoofer is set.
Surround Setup
Once the speaker setup has been completed, the
next step for configuration of the input selected
is to set the surround mode you wish to use with
that input. Since surround modes are a matter of
personal taste, feel free to select any mode you
wish – you may change it later.The Surround
Mode chart on page 30 may help you select the
mode best suited to the input source selected.
For example you may select Dolby Pro Logic II or
Logic 7 for most analog inputs and Dolby Digital
for inputs connected to digital sources. In the
case of inputs such as a CD Player,Tape Deck or
Tuner,you may wish to set the mode to Stereo, if
that is your preferred listening mode for stan-
dard stereo sources, where it is unlikely that sur-
round encoded material will be used.
Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or
Logic 7
Music mode may also be a good choice for
stereo-only source material.
When selecting surround modes, please remem-
ber that in the case of digital surround program
material, the AVR will always examine the data
stream and automatically switch to the correct
surround mode (Dolby Digital or DTS) regardless
of any setting made in the menu system.You
may then add the THX processing by pressing
any of the Home THX Buttons

on
front panel or remote.
It is easiest to complete the surround setup
using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the
MASTER menu (Figure 1), press the
⁄
/
¤
buttons
D
until the
›
cursor is next to the
SURROUNDSELECTmenu. Press the Set
Button
F
so that the SURROUND
SELECTmenu (Figure 4) is on the screen.
Figure 4
After the SURROUND SELECT MENU
appeared the cursor will be next to the THX
line. Note that THXis no separate surround
mode selectable but a post processing for any
surround mode selected previously (except the
Logic 7 and Stereo modes).
To set the THX processing in combination with
the surround mode for the input selected at first
select the surround mode as outlined below,
then move the cursor to the THXline and press
the Set Button
F
. Each of the remaining five
lines on the menu (Figure 4) contains the various
surround mode categories, and within those
menus you may choose one of the sub-modes.
Note that the list of specific sub-modes in some
categories will vary according to whether 5.1 or
6.1/7.1 operation is chosen and Dolby Digital
will appear only when a digital input is selected.
In addition, the DTS modes (except NEO:6) avail-
able in the AVR will not appear unless a digital
source is selected and playing the correct bit-
stream.
Note: When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is
selected and playing, the AVR will select the
appropriate surround mode automatically, no
matter which surround or Logic 7 mode was
selected for that input as default.Then no other
surround modes will be available, except VMAx
with Dolby Digital recordings and all Pro Logic II
modes with Dolby Digital 2 channel (2.0) record-
ings (see page 35).Also THX or Logic 7 process-
ing can be added (see above).
To select the mode that will be used as the ini-
tial default for an input, first press the
⁄
/
¤
buttons
D
until the on-screen cursor is next to
the desired mode’s master category name,such
as Dolby, DTS, DSP (SURR),etc. Next,press the
Set Button
F
to view the sub-menu. Press
the
‹

Buttons
Ea
to scroll through the
available choices, and then press the
¤
Button
D
so that the cursor is next to BACK TO
SURR SELECTto return to the surround
select menu.
The THX sub-menu will only have one choice
when the mode is selected, as there may only be
a single option once the 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 version
of the mode is selected. In the case of other
modes, such as Dolby, DTS, Logic 7, DSP and
STEREO there will be multiple options or choices.
To set the THX processing for the current input
after the surround mode was selected as
described above, move the cursor to the THX
line and press the Set Button
F
