About the Listening Modes The AV receiver's listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high fidelity and stunning surround sound. Pure Audio In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is turned off, only video signals input through HDMI IN can be output.) Direct In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidelity reproduction. All of the source's audio channels are output as they are. Stereo Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Mono Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs. Multichannel This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources. Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging. If you're not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx. • Dolby PLIIx Movie Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS). • Dolby PLIIx Music Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD). • Dolby PLIIx Game Use this mode with video games, especially those that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Dolby Digital Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-sound format, and it'll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. 5.1-channel source + Dolby EX These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel playback. They're especially suited to Dolby EX soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround back channel.
