With a 7.1-channel surround system, audio signals that
have undergone matrix decoding processing through
surround back channel processing to which the Up Mix
function is added are output from the surround back
speakers.
Press
SB CH
repeatedly to cycle the surround back
channel options.
Each press cycles through the options as follows:
SB ON – Matrix decoding processing for generating
the surround back component from the surround
component is turned on.
SB AUTO – Matrix decoding processing for generating
the surround back component from the surround
component is switched automatically. Matrix
decoding processing is only performed when surround
back channel signals are detected in the input signals.
SB OFF – Matrix decoding processing for generating
the surround back component from the surround
component is turned off.
Setting the Up Mix function (VSX-1024 only)
In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers
placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the
surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side.
The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround
speakers with the surround back speakers so that the
surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it
should be.
Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers in
the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as
recommended in the example on page 14
.
Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound
source, in some cases it may not be possible to achieve
good results. In this case, set the setting to OFF.

function.
