Sound Modes
The five sound modes on the receiver are explained here. These can be turned on from the front panel or from the RECEIVER MAIN SCREEN on the remote control. There are three cinema modes: STANDARD, HOME THX CINEMA, and ADVANCED THEATER. These are designed to be used with multi channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Intrinsic to home theater, these modes can deliver realistic and powerful surround sound that recreates the movie theater experience. You may need to experiment with them to see which settings suit your home system and personal tastes. The DSP and STEREO modes are designed to be used with music sources but some DSP modes are also suited for film soundtracks. Again, try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like. You must choose one of the three cinema modes or the DSP mode in order to get surround sound. In STEREO mode only the front two speakers, and sometimes the subwoofer (if you have one), are used.

STANDARD modes
This mode is for pure decoding of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic and DTS sources. No special effects are added. It is good for enjoying regular movies/videos that have been recorded in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS. STANDARD 7.1 is also the basic mode for enjoying sources with SURROUND BACK channels. For more detailed information see p.85. You will only be able to access the second two modes if you have hooked up SURROUND BACK speakers(s). For more detailed information see p.19,21,34-35. The display will show you what kind of source (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.) is being played.

STANDARD
Use this mode with sources that do not have SURROUND BACK channels. If you don't have SURROUND BACK speaker(s) switched on (see p.34-35) this is the only STANDARD mode you will be able to select on the receiver.

STANDARD 7.1
This mode is best for sources with SURROUND BACK channels. You will only be able to access this mode if you have set the SURROUND BACK speakers in the SPEAKER SETTING procedure (see p.34-35). Also, this mode will play 5.1 channels sources and other sources through all the speakers you have hooked up, routing some of the sound into your SURROUND BACK channel or channels. STANDARD 7.1 will appear in the display even if you only have one SURROUND BACK speaker hooked up. The display will change according to the source played.

STANDARD AUTO
In this mode the receiver will automatically select the appropriate STANDARD mode and use it to play the soundtrack. You will only be able to access this mode if you have set the SURROUND BACK speakers(s) in the SPEAKER SETTING procedure (see p.34-35). If the source has a Surround EX marker then the receiver will automatically go into STANDARD 7.1 mode. This mode is best if you are unsure which of the above STANDARD modes to use. The display will change according to the source played.
