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.
