Auto listening mode

The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to listen to

any source as it was mastered: the output from the

Front Surround modes will give the best results (see

Using Front Surround

on page 20).

• Press

mode.

Listening in surround sound

You can listen to stereo or multichannel sources in

surround sound. Surround sound is generated from

stereo sources using one of the Dolby Pro Logic

decoding modes.

If you set up the system for Front surround (page 8), the

Front Surround modes will give the best results (see

Using Front Surround

on page 20).

• Press

repeatedly to select a listening

mode.

• You can also use the
