• Press ADVANCED SURROUND
repeatedly to select a listening mode.
• ADV. MOVIE – Simulates the relaxed
environment of a movie theater, and is
suitable for watching movies.

environment of a large concert hall and is

• TV SURR. – This mode produces surround
sound for both mono and stereo TV sources.
It is useful for older movies recorded with
mono soundtracks.

programs with alot of action, adding to the
excitement by bringing background action to
the forefront.

It works especially well with sound moving
from left to right in game software with alot
of movement.
• EXPANDED – This mode is especially
designed to give sound depth to stereo
sources, and lets you hear two-channel
(stereo) signals as simulated multi-channel
surround sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic for
a stereo surround effect. You can also use
with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo
field than the Standard modes.

selected to give multi-channel sound to a
stereo source, using all of the speakers in
your setup.
• EX POWER (VSX-D414)– Gives additional
energy and depth to a stereo source by using
the surround speakers in addition to the front
speakers (see the diagram on page 19 for the
Extra Power mode speaker setup).
• PHONES SURROUND – When listening
through headphones, you can still get the
effect of overall surround.
• If you press ADVANCED SURROUND
when the headphones are connected, the
PHONES SURROUND mode will automati-
cally be selected.
• You can’t use the Advanced Surround
listening modes with 96kHz PCM sources.
• The Advanced Surround effects can be
adjusted in the range of 10 to 90 by pressing
EFFECT +/– . The effect level can be set for
each Advanced Surround mode. The
Standard mode cannot be changed.
