Listening to your system

Important

• 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.
See

Listening modes with different input signal

formats on page 93 for more on this.

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. 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 S.DIRECT (AUTO

SURR/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.

• When listening to XM Radio, the XM HD Surround

feature is selected automatically (see

Using XM HD

Surround on page 52 for more on this), and also when
listening to the FM Radio, the Neural THX feature is
selected automatically (see

Using Neural THX on

page 34 for more on this).

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.

If you connected surround back speakers, see also

Using

surround back channel processing on page 32.

Standard surround sound

The following modes provide basic surround sound for

stereo and multichannel sources.

•

While listening to a source, press STANDARD

(STANDARD SURROUND).
If necessary, press repeatedly to select a listening mode.

• If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround

encoded, the proper decoding format will

automatically be selected and shows in the display.

With two channel sources, you can select from:

•

2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE – Up to 7.1 channel sound,
especially suited to movie sources

•

2 Pro Logic IIx MUSIC – Up to 7.1 channel sound,
especially suited to music sources

•

2 Pro Logic IIx GAME– Up to 7.1 channel sound,
especially suited to video games

•

2 PRO LOGIC – 4.1 channel surround sound (sound
from the surround speakers is mono)

•

Neo:6 CINEMA – 6.1 channel sound, especially
suited to movie sources

•

Neo:6 MUSIC – 6.1 channel sound, especially suited
to music sources

Note

1 • Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded accordingly using

Neo:6 CINEMA or 2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE (see Listening in surround sound above

for more on these decoding formats).

• The Auto Surround feature is canceled if you connect headphones or select the multichannel analog inputs.

2 For more options using this button, see

Using Stream Direct on page 30.

VSX-94TXH only – Neural THX is selected when Neural Radio is accessed with the HOME MEDIA GALLERY input. However, Stereo is selected when a

OFF, or the surround back speakers are set to NO (this happens automatically if the Surround

back speaker setting on page 39 is set to anything but

Normal (default)), 2 Pro Logic IIx becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel sound).

and Panorama. See

Setting the Audio options on page 71 to adjust them.
