Surround Mode
One of the most important features of the LR-7500 is its
ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround sound
field from digital sources, analog matrix surround-
encoded programs and standard stereo programs.
Surround modes may be changed at any time by using
either the front panel or remote controller.
Press the SURR.M button (or the SURR.M button on
the remote controller) from the front panel until the
desired major surround mode group such as Dolby or
DTS is selected to select a new surround mode.
Press the SURR. SEL (n/6) button (or the SURR(v/^)
on the remote controller) repeatedly until choose the
specific individual.
• The Dolby Digital. Dolby Digital EX and DTS 5.1, DTS-
ES Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete modes may only be
selected when a digital input is in use.
• The Dolby Pro Logic llx modes are available only
when the LR-7500 has been configured for 6.1/7.1
operation by configuring the Surround Back speak-
ers as either "Large" or "Small"
• When the 7.1 CH direct inputs are in use there is no
surround processing, as these inputs take the analog
output signals from an optional, external DVD-Audio
or SACD player, or another source device and carry
them straight through to the volume control without
any further digital processing.
• To listen to a program in traditional two-channel
stereo, using the front left and front right speakers
only (plus the subwoofer, if installed and configured).
NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with matrix
surround information, it retains the surround informa-
tion as long as the program is broadcast in stereo.
Thus, movies with surround sound may be decoded
via any of the analog surround modes such as Dolby
Pro Logic ll Movie or DTS Neo:6 Cinema, when they
are broadcast via conventional TV stations, cable,
pay-TV and satellite transmission. In addition, a grow-
ing number of made-for-television programs, sports
broadcasts, radio dramas and music CDs are also
recorded in surround sound.

Night Mode
In may listening situations, you may find loud passages
objectionable. Adjusting this setting allows you to com-
press the sounds into a range that you may find more
suitable for a particular listening situation. Dolby Digital
satisfies these needs through the dynamic range con-
trolling. Select one of the followings to fit the individual
listening situation of the audience.
The Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby
Digital DVD is playing by pressing the NIGHT button.
Press the 5/b buttons to select either the middle
range of full-compression versions of the Night
mode.
MAX:
Audio with fully compressed dynamic range.
MID:
Audio with partially compressed dynamic range.
OFF:
Audio with uncompressed dynamic range. Select this
when you don't want to use the night mode.
• This function is effective only when playing back a
DVD disc recorded with Dolby Digital. This control
has no effect on other discs.
