The following topics describe in detail the
manual surround mode options available for
each type of recording
Dolby Digital 5.1
Dolby Digital Surround EX
Dolby Digital decoding is auto-detected and
cannot be overridden. You may, however, select
a 2 channel downmix of 5.1 channel record-
ings. If the system is configured with center
back speaker(s), you can also force Dolby Sur-
round EX processing on or off.
NOTE
: In addition to the options that follow,
you can press the 2CH button on the remote
to toggle between 2-channel downmix and
multichannel playback.
• On a 5.1 system. Press the SUR+ but-
ton on the remote, then press the +/– but-
tons to change between DD 5.1 channel
or DD 2.0 channel downmix playback. On
the front panel, press the MODE button
once, then rotate the FUNCTION knob to
select 2.0 or 5.1 channel playback.
• On a 6.1/7.1 system with a Dolby
Digital 5.1 disc. Press the SUR+ button
on the remote, then use the +/– buttons to
step through four options: DD 5.1 chan-
nel, DD 2.0 channel downmix, DD Surround
EX center back processing, or DD with Rotel
XS center back processing. On the front
panel, press the MODE button while playing
a Dolby Digital source. Then, rotate the
FUNCTION knob to step through the same
options. You should force Surround EX on
for non-flagged discs that are labeled Dolby
Digital Surround EX. Rotel XS processing
of standard 5.1 channel discs will provide
a more diffuse surround effect than the more
highly localized Dolby EX decoding and
will probably be the best 6.1 channel option
for non-Surround EX discs.
• On a 6.1/7.1 system with a Dolby
Digital Surround EX disc. Press the
SUR+ button on the remote, then use the
+/– buttons to step through three options:
DD 5.1 channel, DD 2.0 channel down-
mix, or Surround EX center back process-
ing. On the front panel, press the MODE
button while playing a Dolby Digital source.
Then, rotate the FUNCTION knob to step
through the same options. Select the Sur-
round EX option for 6.1 channel playback.
Select the DD 5.1 option to force Surround
EX off for standard 5.1 channel playback.

: When playing any Dolby Digital source,
you can select one of three dynamic range
control settings. See the Dynamic Range topic
in the Other Settings section of this manual.
Dolby Digital 2.0
Dolby Digital decoding is auto-detected and
cannot be overridden. You may, however, select

round, or Dolby 3-Stereo playback.

II, or 3-Stereo. Repeatedly press the
SUR+ button on the remote until the desired
mode is displayed. On the front panel, press
the MODE button once, then rotate the

mode.

stereo or Pro Logic II Cinema modes by press-
ing the 2CH or PLC buttons on the remote.

tion option in Pro Logic II mode. Press
the +/– buttons on the remote to select the
desired option. On the front panel, press

to select the option.
