ENJOYING SURROUND SOUND
Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.
Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer.
Note: Before surround playback, first perform the SPEAKER SETUP procedure, etc. on the OSD menu for optimum
performance. (For details, refer to SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP on page 44.)
Depending on the input digital signal format, select the desired decoding mode.

• You can select the “DTS”, “DOLBY DIGITAL”, “PCM” or
“MPEG” mode directly on the remote control.
• Each time the DECODING MODE button is pressed, the
decoding mode changes as follows :
* Auto mode(AUTO lights up): The input digital signal format
(DTS, Dolby Digital, MPEG or PCM( 2 channel stereo), etc.)
used by the selected digital input source is detected
automatically to perform the necessary decoding process for
optimum surround mode.
* Dolby Digital mode(DOLBY DIGITAL lights up): The Dolby
Digital signal processing is performed only when Dolby Digital
signals are input.
* DTS mode( DTS lights up): The DTS signal processing is
performed only when DTS signals are input.
* MPEG mode(MPEG lights up): The MPEG signal processing
is performed only when MPEG signals are input.
* PCM mode(PCM lights up): The PCM signal processing is

( ): Possible only when surround back channel is not set to None.(Refer to When selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION on page 44.)
BYPASS mode: Audio signals bypass signal processing circuits for surround sound and are played in stereo mode.
If Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Virtual Speaker or Dolby Headphone mode is combined with BYPASS mode, you will enjoy its original surround
effects, not affected by other surround modes.
• You can select the “PL II MOVIE”(or “PL IIx MOVIE”), “PL II MUSIC”(or “PL IIx MUSIC”), “DTS NEO: 6 CINEMA” or “DTS
NEO : 6 MUSIC” mode directly on the remote control depending on the input signal format, the selected decoding mode and the
surround back channel setting.
• When MPEG signals are input in the required decoding mode, the corresponding surround mode will be automatically selected
regardless of using the MULTI CONTROL knob or DSP MODE UP(
) or DOWN( ) button.
Notes:
• When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input flickers, meaning
the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the required decoding mode and the
available surround mode according to the input signal format.
• When the 8 CH DIRECT is selected as an input source, the decoding and surround modes cannot be selected.
• When the pure audio function is activated, the surround mode cannot be selected.
• When 96 kHz PCM signals are input, only the stereo mode can be selected.
• When DTS 96/24 or MPEG signals are input, the Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone modes cannot be
selected.
Notes :
• Only when the digital input is selected as signal input for the
input sources except PHONO, TUNER and TAPE
MONITOR, the decoding mode can be selected.
• Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and
while searching during DTS playback in the auto mode. In this
case, try playing in the DTS mode.
