Listening to your system
Auto listening mode
The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to
listen to any source as it was mastered: the
output from the speakers mirrors the channels
in the source material.
• If you set up the system for Front surround
(page 10), the Front Surround modes will
give the best results.
• Press SURROUND to select the AUTO
listening mode. 1
Listening in surround sound
You can listen to stereo or multichannel
sources in surround sound.

Surround sound
is generated from stereo sources using one of
the Dolby Pro Logic decoding modes.
• If you set up the system for Front surround
(page 10), the Front Surround modes will
give the best results.
• Press SURROUND repeatedly to select a
listening mode.

The choices that appear in the display will vary
according to the type of source that’s playing.
• AUTO – Auto listening mode (see above)
• DOLBY PL (Dolby Pro Logic) – 4.1 channel
surround sound (use with any two-channel
source)
• MOVIE (Dolby Pro Logic II Movie) – Pro
Logic II 5.1 channel surround sound,
especially suited to movie sources (use
with any two-channel source)
• MUSIC (Dolby Pro Logic II Music) – Pro
Logic II 5.1 channel surround sound,
especially suited to music sources (use
with any two-channel source)
• STEREO – See Listening in stereo below
Dolby Pro Logic II Music settings
When listening in Dolby Pro Logic II Music
mode, there are three settings you can adjust:
Center Width, Dimension, and Panorama.
1 With Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode
active, press SOUND.
2 Use / to select ‘C WIDTH’, ‘DIMEN.’ or
‘PANORAMA’ then press ENTER to confirm.
• C WIDTH (Center Width) – Provides a
better blend of the front speakers by
spreading the center channel between the
front right and left speakers, making it
sound wider (higher settings) or narrower
(lower settings).
• DIMEN. (Dimension) – Adjusts the depth
of the surround sound balance from front
to back, making the sound more distant
(minus settings), or more forward (positive
settings).
• PANORAMA – Extends the front stereo
image to include the surround speakers for
a ‘wraparound’ effect.
Note
1 If the source is Dolby Digital or DTS, the corresponding indicator lights in the front panel display.
2 Note that when the tuner is selected, multichannel playback is not possible.
