Listening to your system

Tip

• The listening modes described below can also be

selected using the front panel controls. Simply press

LISTENING MODE SELECT

repeatedly to access the

modes you want, then use the

MULTI JOG

to select a

particular listening mode (after five seconds the
mode is automatically set).

• This unit has an on-board WMA9 Pro decoder, so it is

possible to playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using
a coaxial or optical digital connection when
connected to a WMA9 Pro-compatible player.
However, the connected PC, DVD player, set-top box,
etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro format audio
signals through a coaxial or optical digital output.

• With WMA9 Pro, sound problems may occur

depending on your computer system. WMA9 Pro 7.1
channel 96kHz sources will be downsampled to 5.1
channel 48kHz.

• If you’re listening to a WMA9 Pro format source with

headphones, only

STEREO

is available.

Auto playback

There are many ways to listen back to sources using this
receiver, but for the simplest, most direct listening option
is the Auto Surround feature. With this, the receiver
automatically detects what kind of source you’re playing
and selects multichannel or stereo playback as
necessary.

While listening to a source, press AUTO SURR 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.

Note

• Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded

accordingly using

Neo:6 CINEMA

or

2

Pro Logic

IIx MOVIE

(see

Listening in surround sound

below for

more on these decoding formats).

• The Auto Surround feature is canceled if you connect

headphones or select the multichannel analog
inputs.

Listening in surround sound

Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in
surround sound. However, the options available will
depend on your speaker setup and the type of source
you’re listening to.
