This setting completes the surround setup. 43 En Basic Playback Sound Modes The five sound modes on the receiver are explained here. These can be turned on from the front panel or from the remote control. There are three cinema modes: STANDARD, HOME THX CINEMA, and ADVANCED THEATER. These are designed to be used with multi channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Intrinsic to home theater, these modes can deliver realistic and powerful surround sound that recreates the movie theater experience. You may need to experiment with them to see which settings suit your home system and personal tastes. The DSP and STEREO modes are designed to be used with music sources but some DSP modes are also suited for film soundtracks. If the source you are using is a 5. 1 source then this mode will route some of the sound to the SURROUND BACK channel(s). If the source you are using does not have a SURROUND EX marker or is not a 5. 1 source then the display will automatically change to THX CINEMA. THX AUTO (VSX-859RDS only) In this mode the receiver will automatically select the appropriate THX mode and use it to play the soundtrack. You will only be able to access this mode if you have set the SURROUND BACK speaker(s) in the SPEAKER SETTING procedure (see p. If the source has a SURROUND EX marker then the receiver will automatically go into THX SURROUND EX mode. This mode is best if you are unsure which of the above THX modes to use. ADVANCED THEATER modes The Advanced Theater mode is a newly designed system for enhancing movie soundtracks and other audiovisual sources. It incorporates the use of DTS, Dolby Digital as well as MPEG into its sound processing. These functions switch on automatically when the source you are playing is encoded with DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG. There are four Advanced Theater settings that use DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to create different types of sound environments. If you have SURROUND BACK speakers or (even just one) speaker switched on (see p. 36 ­ 37) then 7. 1 will appear after the name of all of these modes in the display on the receiver. The display will show you what kind of source (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. ) is being played. OPERATION OPERATION MUSICAL This mode is primarily for music and adds a spacious feeling to the sound.
