Using audio features

■ Selecting decoders for multi-channel

sources

If you connected surround back speakers, use this feature

to enjoy 6.1/7.1-channel playback for multi-channel

sources using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital EX,

DTS-ES, or Neural-THX decoders.

Set the operation mode selector to FAMP and

then press MEXTD SUR. on the remote control

repeatedly to switch between 5.1 and 6.1/7.1-

channel playback.

Use this feature to activate the desired decoder manually when

this unit cannot detect the signal flag encoded to the input

sources correctly.

• The available decoders vary depending on the setting of the

speakers and the input sources.

• 6.1/7.1-channel playback is not possible in the following cases:

– when “Surround” (page 93) or “Surround Back” (page 93) is

set to “None”.

– when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT

jacks is being played.

– when the source being played does not contain surround left

and right channel signals.

– when a Dolby Digital KARAOKE source is being played.

– when this unit is in the stereo playback, 7ch Enhancer

(page 51) or PURE DIRECT (page 54) mode.

– when “BI-AMP” is set to “ON” (page 131).

• If “EXTD Surround” is set to “Auto” (page 106), the decoder

mode is automatically set to “AUTO” every time this unit is

turned off.

• “Neural-THX” is only available on the U.S.A. and Canada

models.

Use the PURE DIRECT mode to enjoy the pure fidelity

sound of the selected source. When the PURE DIRECT

mode is activated, this unit plays back the selected source

with the least circuitry.

Press KPURE DIRECT (or

PURE DIRECT)

to turn on or off the PURE DIRECT mode.

The

PURE DIRECT button on the front panel lights up

and the front panel display automatically turns off while

this unit is in the PURE DIRECT mode.

• The following operations are not possible when this unit is in

the PURE DIRECT mode:

– switching the sound field program

– displaying the GUI menu

• The PURE DIRECT mode is automatically canceled whenever

this unit is turned off.

To make this unit output video signals during the PURE

DIRECT mode, configure the “Pure Direct” setting (page 98).

Use this feature to adjust the balance of bass and treble for

the front L/R and center speaker channels and the

subwoofer channel.

1 Press

TONE CONTROL on the front

panel repeatedly to select the high-frequency

response (TREBLE) or the low-frequency

response (BASS).

2 Rotate the

PROGRAM selector to adjust

the high-frequency response (TREBLE) or

the low-frequency response (BASS).

Control range: –6.0 dB to +6.0 dB

• If you increase or decrease the high-frequency or the

low-frequency sound to an extreme level, the tonal quality of

the surround speakers may not match that of the front L/R and

center speakers and the subwoofer.

• TONE CONTROL is not effective when the PURE DIRECT

mode is activated, or when “MULTI CH” is selected as the input

source.
