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 7), the
Front Surround modes will give the best results (see

Using Front Surround

on page 19).

Press

SURROUND

mode.

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 7), the
Front Surround modes will give the best results (see

Using Front Surround

on page 19).

Press

repeatedly to select a listening

mode.

• You can also use the

button on the

display unit to change the listening mode.
