■ Selecting decoders for multi-channel
sources
If you connected surround back speakers, use this feature
to enjoy 6.1/7.1-channel playback for multi-channel
sources using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital EX
or DTS-ES decoders.
1 Set the operation mode selector to AMP and
then press EXTD SUR. on the remote control
repeatedly to switch between 5.1 and 6.1/7.1-
channel playback.
2 Press l / h repeatedly to select a decoder
while the name of the decoder is displayed.
Auto AUTO
When a signal flag that can be recognized by this unit is
input, this unit selects the optimum decoder to play back
the signal in 6.1/7.1 channels.
If this unit cannot recognize the flag or no flag is present
in the input signal, it cannot automatically be played in
6.1/7.1 channels.
Decoders
You can select from the following decoders depending on
the format of the source you are playing.
Off OFF
Decoders are not used to create 6.1/7.1 channels.
• “PLIIx Movie” is available only when “Surround Back” (see
page 106) is set to “Small x2” or “Large x2”.
• Some 6.1/7.1-channel compatible discs do not have a signal flag
that can be automatically detected by this unit. When playing
these kinds of discs in 6.1/7.1 channels, select a decoder
manually from “PLIIx Music”, “EX/ES” or “EX”.
• 6.1/7.1-channel playback is not possible even if you press
EXTD SUR. in the following cases:
– when “Surround” (see page 106) or “Surround Back” (
see
page 106) 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 a Dolby Digital KARAOKE source is being played.
– when the “2ch Stereo” (see page 53) or Pure Direct (see
page 52) mode is selected.
• When this unit is turned off, this setting will be reset to “Auto”.

Back” is set to “None” (see page 106).
