Important
• The procedure for setting the receiver operation
mode differs for the remote controls included with
the SC-LX83 and SC-LX73. For the SC-LX83’s remote
control, set the remote control operation selector
switch to
RECEIVER. For the SC-LX73’s remote
control, press the
button. When “set the
remote control to the receiver operation mode” is
indicated in these instructions, use the respective
procedure described above.
• The listening modes and many features described in
this section may not be available depending on the
current source, settings and status of the receiver.
Auto playback
There are many ways to listen back to sources using this
receiver, but the simplest, most direct listening option is
the Auto Surround feature. The receiver automatically
detects what kind of source you’re playing and selects
multichannel or stereo playback as necessary.
1
Set the remote control to the receiver operation
mode.
2
While listening to a source, press AUTO/ALC/
DIRECT (AUTO SURR/ALC/STREAM DIRECT) for auto
playback of a source.
AUTO SURROUND shows briefly in the display before
showing the decoding or playback format. Check the
digital format indicators in the front panel display to see
how the source is being processed.
• If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround
encoded, the proper decoding format will
automatically be selected and shows in the display.
• When listening to the FM radio, the Neural Surround
feature is selected automatically (see Using Neural
Surround on page 51 for more on this).
• When listening to the
ADAPTER PORT input, the
SOUND RETRIEVER AIR feature is selected
automatically (see Listening in stereo on page 58 for
more on this).
ALC – In the Auto level control (ALC) mode, this receiver
equalizes playback sound levels.
OPTIMUM SURR (SC-LX83 only) – In the Optimum
Surround mode, this receiver automatically optimizes
sound balance in each scene based on actually set
volume. The sound balancer controls three major theater
sound elements dialogue, bass and surround with
original algorithm.
Tip
• When
ALC is selected, the effect level can be
adjusted using the
EFFECT parameter in Setting the
Audio options on page 72.
Listening in surround sound
Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in

stereo and multichannel sources.
