Listening to your system

Chapter 5

Listening to your system
Auto playback
� Default setting: On There are many ways to listen back to sources using this receiver, but for the simplest, most direct listening option is the Stream Direct feature. With this, the receiver automatically detects what kind of source you�re playing and selects multichannel or stereo playback as necessary.

Listening in surround sound
Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in surround sound. However, the listening mode options and the current active mode may change depending on your speaker setup, the SB CH mode setting, and the type of source you�re listening to. � If you connected surround back speakers, see also Using the surround back channel on page 44 for more on the SB CH mode setting. � While listening to a source, press MOVIE or MUSIC and / (cursor left/right) to select a listening mode, then press ENTER. You can also use the front panel MUSIC and MOVIE buttons instead of the remote control to select listening modes. After selecting the mode you want, simply turn the MULTI JOG dial to cycle through the available options, pressing ENTER to select a mode.

� While listening to a source, press STREAM DIRECT on the front panel to switch it on or off. The decoding or playback format shows briefly in the display before showing STREAM DIRECT. 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 Stream Direct feature is canceled if you connect headphones or select the multichannel analog inputs.

Note � If the SB CH MODE (page 44) is switched to OFF, or the surround back speakers are set to NO (this happens automatically if the Surround back speaker setting on page 55 is set to anything but Normal System), 2 Pro Logic IIx (below) becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel sound). � When the Virtual Surround Back mode (page 45) is switched on, +VSB will show in the front panel display after modes which are using this feature. � In modes that give 6.1 channel sound, the same signal is heard from both surround back speakers. � You can�t use the MUSIC and MOVIE modes with DVD-A, SACD or sources over 48kHz when using one of the digital inputs (including i.LINK).
