Important
The listening modes and many features described in
this section may not be available depending on the
current source, settings and status of the r eceiver.
Auto playback
There are many ways to listen back to sources using this
receiver, but for the simplest, most direct listening option
is the Auto Surround feature. The r eceiver automatically
detects what kind of source you’re playing and selects
multichannel or stereo playback as necessary.

AUTO SURROUND shows briefly in the display before
showing the decoding or playback format. Check the
digital format indicators in the front panel display to see
how the source is being processed.
When listening to the FM radio, the Neural THX
feature is selected automatically (see Using Neural
THX on page 48 for more on this).
In the Auto level control (ALC) mode, this receiver
equalizes playback sound levels.
Tip
When an ALC is selected, the effect level can be
adjusted using the EFFECT parameter in Setting the
Audio options on page 60.
Listening in surround sound
Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in
surround sound. However, the options available will
depend on your speaker setup and the type of source
you’re listening to.
