Auto playback

• Default setting:

On

There are many ways to listen back to sources using this
receiver, but for the simplest, most direct listening option
is the Stream Direct feature. With this, the receiver
automatically detects what kind of source you’re playing
and selects multichannel or stereo playback as
necessary.

While listening to a source, press STREAM

DIRECT on the front panel to switch it on or off.

The decoding or playback format shows briefly in the
display before showing

STREAM DIRECT

. Check the

digital format indicators in the front panel display to see
how the source is being processed.

Note

• Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded

accordingly using

NEO:6 CINEMA

or

2

Pro Logic

IIx MOVIE

(see

Listening in surround sound

below for

more on these decoding formats).

• The Stream Direct feature is canceled if you connect

headphones or select the multichannel analog
inputs.

Listening in surround sound

Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in
surround sound. However, the listening mode options
and the current active mode may change depending on
your speaker setup, the

SB CH

mode setting, and the type

of source you’re listening to.

• If you connected surround back speakers, see also

Using the surround back channel

on page 44 for more

on the

SB CH

mode setting.

While listening to a source, press MOVIE or

MUSIC and

/

(cursor left/right) to select a

listening mode, then press ENTER.

You can also use the front panel

MUSIC

and

MOVIE

buttons instead of the remote control to select listening
modes. After selecting the mode you want, simply turn
the

MULTI JOG

dial to cycle through the available

options, pressing

ENTER

to select a mode.

Note

• If the

SB CH MODE

(page 44) is switched to

OFF

, or

the surround back speakers are set to

NO

(this

happens automatically if the

Surround back speaker

setting

on page 55 is set to anything but

Normal

System

),

2

Pro Logic IIx

(below) becomes

2

Pro

Logic II

(5.1 channel sound).

• When the Virtual Surround Back mode (page 45) is

switched on,

+VSB

will show in the front panel

display after modes which are using this feature.

• In modes that give 6.1 channel sound, the same

signal is heard from both surround back speakers.

• You can’t use the

MUSIC

and

MOVIE

modes with

DVD-A, SACD or sources over 48kHz when using one
of the digital inputs (including i.LINK).
