Check the digital format indicators in the display to see how the source is being processed. Listening in surround sound Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in surround sound. However, the options available will depend on your speaker setup and the type of source you're listening to. The following modes provide basic surround sound for stereo and multichannel sources. 1 Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded accordingly using NEO:6 CINEMA or DOLBY PLIIx MOVIE (see Listening in surround sound above for more on these decoding formats). 2 For more options using this button, see Using Stream Direct on page 33. 3 When listening to 2-channel sources in DOLBY PLII MUSIC mode, there are three further parameters you can adjust: C. 4 When listening to 2-channel sources in NEO:6 CINEMA or NEO:6 MUSIC mode, you can also adjust the C.

ADVANCE ­ See Using Front Stage Surround Advance below for more on this. Listening to your system Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the truest possible reproduction of a source. Better sound using Phase Control This receiver's Phase Control feature uses phase correction measures to make sure your sound source arrives at the listening position in phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/ or coloring of the sound (see illustration below). During multichannel playback, LFE (LowFrequency Effects) signals as well as lowfrequency signals in each channel are assigned to the subwoofer or other the subwoofer and the most appropriate speaker. At least in theory, however, this type of processing involves a group delay that varies with frequency, resulting in phase distortion where the low-frequency sound is delayed or muffled by the conflict with other channels. With the Phase Control mode switched on, this receiver can reproduce powerful bass sound without deteriorating the quality of the original sound (see illustration below). DIRECT ­ Sources are heard according to the settings made in the Surround Setup (speaker setting, channel level, speaker distance), as well as with dual mono settings. 1 You will hear sources according to the number of channels in the signal. PURE DIRECT ­ Analog and PCM sources are heard without any digital processing. When audio data is removed during the compression process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound image.
