Selecting MCACC presets

• Default setting:

MEMORY 1

If you have calibrated your system for different listening

positions

1

, you can switch between settings to suit the

kind of source you’re listening to and where you’re sitting
(for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a
video game close to the TV).

While listening to a source, press

MCACC

.

Press repeatedly to select one of the six MCACC presets

2

or to switch calibration off. See

Data Management

on

page 45 to check and manage your current settings.

Choosing the input signal

You need to hook up a component to both analog and
digital inputs on the receiver to select between input

signals.

– This is the default setting. The receiver

selects the first available signal in the following
order:

DIGITAL

;

ANALOG

.

ANALOG

– Selects an analog signal.

Using surround back channel processing

• Default setting:

SBch ON

You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby
Digital EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use
6.1 or 7.1 decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded
material). With 5.1 encoded sources, a surround back
channel will be generated, but the material may sound
better in the 5.1 format for which it was originally
encoded (in which case, you can simply switch surround
back channel processing off).

The table below indicates when you will hear the
surround back channel when playing various kinds of
sources (

=Sound plays through surround back

speaker(s)).

Press

SB ch

(

SB ch PROCESSING

) repeatedly to cycle

the surround back channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

SBch ON

– 6.1 or 7.1 decoding is always used (for

example, a surround back channel will be generated
for 5.1 encoded material)

SBch AUTO

– Automatically switches to 6.1 or 7.1

decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example,
Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES)

SBch OFF

– Maximum 5.1 playback

Note

1 Different presets might also have separate calibration settings for the same listening position, depending on how you’re using your system. These
presets can be set in

Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC)

on page 8 or

Automatic MCACC (Expert)

on page 37, either of which you

should have already completed.
2 You can’t use these settings when

MULTI CH IN

is selected, and they have no effect when headphones are connected.

3 • This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 96 kHz), DTS (including DTS 96 kHz/24 bit) and WMA9 Pro digital signal formats. With
other digital signal formats, set to

ANALOG

(the

MULTI CH IN

,

TUNER

and

USB

input functions are all fixed to

ANALOG

).

• You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the proper digital

connections (page 15) and set the signal input to

DIGITAL

.

• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.

4 When the

HDMI

option in

Setting the AV options

on page 58 is set to

THROUGH

, the sound will be heard through your TV, not from this receiver.

5 • This is useful if you find there is a slight delay before

AUTO

recognizes the PCM signal on a CD, for instance.

• When

PCM

is selected, noise may be output during playback of non-PCM sources. Please select another input signal if this is a problem.
