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.
If you set up the system for Front surround
(page 10), the Front Surround modes will
give the best results.
Press
SURROUND
to select the AUTO
listening mode.

If you set up the system for Front surround
(page 10), the Front Surround modes will
give the best results.

repeatedly to select a
listening mode.

to select ‘C WIDTH’, ‘DIMEN.’ or
‘PANORAMA’ then press
ENTER
to confirm.
C WIDTH (Center Width) – Provides a
better blend of the front speakers by
spreading the center channel between the
front right and left speakers, making it
sound wider (higher settings) or narrower
(lower settings).
DIMEN. (Dimension) – Adjusts the depth
of the surround sound balance from front
to back, making the sound more distant
(minus settings), or more forward (positive
settings).
PANORAMA – Extends the front stereo
image to include the surround speakers for
a ‘wraparound’ effect.
Note
1 If the source is Dolby Digital or DTS, the corresponding indicator lights in the front panel display.
2 Note that when the tuner is selected, multichannel playback is not possible.
