About the listening modes
As explained in
Placing the speakers
on
page 12, there are two basic surround speaker
setup options available. Of course you can
select any of the listening modes regardless of
how you place your speakers, but you will
achieve the best surround effect by using the
listening modes in conjunction with your
speaker setup:
•
Standard surround 5-spot setup
– Use
the Standard (
Listening in surround sound
on page 39) and Advanced (
Using the
Advanced Surround effects
on page 40)
surround listening modes with this setup.
•
Front surround 3-spot setup
– See
Using
Front Surround
on page 40 for the options
available with this speaker setup.
Make sure you have completed
Using the
Room Setup
on page 28. For a more detailed
surround sound setup, see
Using the System
Setup menu
on page 60.
•
Certain features explained in this section
may not be possible depending on the
source (for example, 88.2 / 96 kHz sources),
or a conflicting system setting. See
Error
Messages
on page 79 for more on this.
•
Except for mute, the tone controls (bass/
treble) and Quiet and Midnight listening,
the features in this section can’t be used

output from the speakers mirrors the channels
from the source material.
•
Press SURROUND to select the ‘Auto’
listening mode.
If the source is Dolby Digital or DTS, the
2
DIGITAL
or
DTS
indicator on the front panel
