Listening to your system 05 English Deutsch Français Italiano Nederlands Español Using surround back channel processing You can set the surround back channel when the surround back speaker is connected and NO is not selected for the speaker setting (page 42). You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1 decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use 6.1 or 7.1 decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded material). 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 originally encoded (in which case, you can simply switch surround back channel processing off).
