About the listening modes
As explained in Home theater sound setup on
page 24, there are two basic surround speaker
setup options available. Of course you can
select any of the listening modes regardless of
how you place your speakers, but you will
achieve the best surround effect by using the
listening modes in conjunction with your
speaker setup:
• Standard surround setup – Use the
Standard (Listening in surround sound
below) surround listening modes with this
setup.
• Front surround setup – See Using Front
Surround on page 27 for the options
available with this speaker setup.
Make sure you have completed Setting the
channel levels on page 25.
Auto listening mode
The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to
listen to any source as it was mastered: the
output from the speakers mirrors the channels
in the source material.
• Press
SURROUND
to select the AUTO
listening mode.
