• Default setting:
On
There are many ways to listen back to sources using this
receiver, but for the simplest, most direct listening option
is the Stream Direct feature. With this, the receiver
automatically detects what kind of source you’re playing
and selects multichannel or stereo playback as
necessary.
• While listening to a source, press STREAM
DIRECT on the front panel to switch it on or off.
The decoding or playback format shows briefly in the
display before showing
STREAM DIRECT
. Check the
digital format indicators in the front panel display to see
how the source is being processed.
Note
• Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded
accordingly using
NEO:6 CINEMA
or
2
Pro Logic
IIx MOVIE
(see
Listening in surround sound
below for
more on these decoding formats).
• The Stream Direct feature is canceled if you connect
headphones or select the multichannel analog
inputs.
Listening in surround sound
Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in
surround sound. However, the listening mode options
and the current active mode may change depending on
your speaker setup, the
SB CH
mode setting, and the type
of source you’re listening to.
• If you connected surround back speakers, see also
Using the surround back channel
on page 44 for more
on the
SB CH
mode setting.
• While listening to a source, press MOVIE or
MUSIC and
/
(cursor left/right) to select a
listening mode, then press ENTER.
You can also use the front panel
MUSIC
and
MOVIE
buttons instead of the remote control to select listening
modes. After selecting the mode you want, simply turn
the
MULTI JOG
dial to cycle through the available
options, pressing
ENTER
to select a mode.
Note
• If the
SB CH MODE
(page 44) is switched to
OFF
, or
the surround back speakers are set to
NO
(this
happens automatically if the
Surround back speaker
setting
on page 55 is set to anything but
Normal
System
),
2
Pro Logic IIx
(below) becomes
2
Pro
Logic II
(5.1 channel sound).
• When the Virtual Surround Back mode (page 45) is
switched on,
+VSB
will show in the front panel
display after modes which are using this feature.
• In modes that give 6.1 channel sound, the same
signal is heard from both surround back speakers.
• You can’t use the
MUSIC
and
MOVIE
modes with
DVD-A, SACD or sources over 48kHz when using one
of the digital inputs (including i.LINK).
