Note
•
In modes that give 6.1 channel sound, the same signal is
heard from both surround back speakers (VSX-1024 only).
Using the Advanced surround
The Advanced surround feature creates a variety of surround
effects. Try different modes with various soundtracks to see
which you like.
Note
•
During ECO mode, the brightness switches between 2
levels. If the dimmest level is selected, DIMMER will be
shown on the display. (Mode other than ECO: 4 levels, ECO
mode: 2 levels)
•
ECO MODE will switch OFF automatically when switched
to other listening modes (Advanced surround mode and
Auto surround mode).
Using Stream Direct
Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the
truest possible reproduction of a source. All unnecessary
signal processing is bypassed.
Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the compression
process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound
image. The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP
technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to
compressed 2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure
and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.
(see Setting the Audio options
on page 39).
Listening with Acoustic Calibration EQ
You can listen to sources using the Acoustic Calibration
Equalization set in Automatically setting up for surround
sound (MCACC) on page 26. Refer to these pages for more on
Acoustic Calibration Equalization.
(see Setting the Audio options
on page 39).
Using surround back channel processing (VSX-
1024 only)
You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital
EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use 6.1 or 7.1
decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded material). With 5.1
encoded sources, a surround back channel will be generated,
but the material may sound better in the 5.1 format for which
it was originally encoded (in which case, you can simply
switch surround back channel processing off).
