Using the Surround Back
Channel (SB CH)

• Default setting:

SB ON

You can have the receiver automatically
switch to Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (

SB

AUTO

), or you can choose to listen to other

kinds of sources (for example, 5.1 encoded
material) with 6.1 encoding (

SB ON

). 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 origi-
nally encoded, in which case you can simply
switch the surround back channel off (

SB

OFF

).

The table indicates when you will hear the
surround back channel.

Press SB CH MODE (front panel)

repeatedly to cycle the surround back
channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as
follows:

with headphones, the
