Using the Listening Modes
With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP pro-
grams, the AV Receiver can transform your home listen-
ing room into a movie theater or concert hall.
To get the most from surround sound, it’s important that
you install and configure your speakers correctly. See
“Connecting Your Speakers” on page 17 and “Speaker
Configuration” on page 32.
Listening mode availability depends on the format of the
current input signal. For example, the Dolby Digital lis-
tening modes are available only while a Dolby Digital
format signal is being input.
The following table lists all the possible listening modes
and indicates which modes can be selected for each input
signal format.
*1: Available when the Surr Back setting in the Speaker Configuration is set to None (see page 32).
*2: Available when the Surr Back setting in the Speaker Configuration is NOT set to None (see page 32).
*3: Available when the Surr Back setting in the Speaker Configuration is NOT set to None (page 32) and the Dolby Digital/DTS
setting (page 44) is set to On.
*4: Available when the Surr Back setting in the Speaker Configuration is NOT set to None (page 32) and the Dolby Digital/DTS
setting (page 44) is set to either On or Auto.
*5: For DTS 96 kHz/24-bit material, if the listening mode is Stereo or DTS 96/24, audio is processed at 96 kHz. For all other listening
modes, it’s processed at 48 kHz.
