07 Listening to your system Using surround back channel processing • Default setting: SB ON You can have the system 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). • With a 7.1-channel surround system, audio signals that have undergone matrix decoding processing through surround back channel processing to which the Up Mix function is added are output from the surround back speakers. SYSTEM TV CONTROL INPUT CH S.RETRIEVER EQ CH SELECT SLEEP CH SB CH PHASE MIDNGIHT CH SHIFT ENTER • Press , then press SB CH repeatedly to cycle the surround back channel options. Each press cycles through the options as follows: • SB ON - Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is turned on. • SB AUTO - Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is switched automatically. Matrix decoding processing is only performed when surround back channel signals are detected in the input signals. • SB OFF - Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is turned off. Setting the Up Mix function In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side. The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround speakers with the surround back speakers so that the surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it should be.1 • Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers in the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as recommended in the example below. • Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound source, in some cases it may not be possible to achieve good results. In this case, set the setting to OFF.

UP MIX: OFF appears and the Up Mix function turns off. If you want to turn this function on, perform steps 1 and 2 again. • When set to ON, the UP MIX indicator on the front panel lights. Note 1 • Set to ON regardless of this setting when playing DTS-HD signals. • May automatically be set to OFF even when set to ON, depending on the input signal and listening mode. 68 En
