this unit cannot detect the signal flag encoded to the input
sources correctly.
• The available decoders vary depending on the setting of the
speakers and the input sources.
• 6.1/7.1-channel playback is not possible in the following cases:
– when “SUR. L/R SP” (page 75) or “SUR.B L/R SP” (page 76)
is set to “NONE”.
– when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT
jacks is being played.
– when the source being played does not contain surround left
and right channel signals.

– when this unit is in the stereo playback, 7ch Enhancer
(page 44) or Pure Direct (page 46) mode.

• You can set the initial extended decoder mode with "EXTD
