Listening Modes
Intrinsic to home theater, surround sound delivers a realistic and powerful soundtrack that recreates the movie theater experience. You may need to experiment with these different modes to see which suit your home system and personal tastes, but in general you should listen to movie sources (like DVDs) in one of the listening modes for multichannel outputs.

06

AUTO
This mode automatically detects what kind of signal is being input and employs the proper listening mode of the receiver. If you don�t know what kind of signal (stereo, multichannel, etc.) you are using or don�t want to bother with switching listening modes, use this feature. This is the basic home theater decoding mode.

SURROUND
These modes are generally used for two channel sound sources though you can use multichannel sources like Dolby Digital. If you use multichannel sources with these modes you won�t be able to select the first three. Try the modes with sources that seem to match the description of the mode below and decide if you like the results. What modes you are able to access in any given situation will depend on the source you are using, the surround settings and other receiver factors (for example, you won�t be able to access PHONES SURROUND mode unless you have the headphones plugged). Also, according to the speaker settings you have made and the signal input you may or may not be output from a subwoofer in these modes. 2 PRO LOGIC This mode gives 4.1 channel surround sound. It is less sensitive to the quality of the source material so it may be useful when PRO LOGIC II MOVIE/MUSIC do not give good results. 2 PRO LOGIC II MOVIE (MOVIE) This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound. It is suitable for movies, especially those recorded in Dolby Surround. The channel separation and movement of surround effects is comparable to Dolby Digital 5.1. 2 PRO LOGIC II MUSIC (MUSIC) This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. The surround effect is more enveloping than PRO LOGIC II MOVIE. VIRTUAL (TRUSURROUND VIRTUAL) This mode imitates surround sound with two speakers. The sound will only be heard from two speakers in this mode but the feeling of an all-encompassing surround sound is reproduced. PHONES SURROUND When listening with headphones the above mode becomes PHONES SURROUND. Here the effect of overall surround sound is reproduced for headphone listening. STEREO Use this mode to listen to conventional stereo sources and retain a stereo sound. Even if a multichannel source is input when you are using this listening mode, you will only hear two channel sound.

ADVANCED
These modes are used to decode all sound sources but each mode emphasizes certain characteristics of the sound. Experiment with the modes and different sound sources to get an effect that suits you. You cannot choose ADVANCED modes when inputting 96 kHz signals. MOVIE This mode simulates the relaxed environment of a medium size movie theater, and is suitable for watching drama. MUSIC This mode simulates the acoustics of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources.
