Listening to your system Listening to your system important · The listening modes and many features described in this section may not be available depending on the current source, settings and status of the receiver. 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. With this, the receiver automatically detects what kind of source you're playing and selects multichannel or stereo playback as necessary. If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround encoded, the proper decoding format will automatically be selected and shows in the display. 1 channel sound, especially suited to movie sources · dOLBY PLII MUSIC3 ­ Up to 5. 1 channel sound, especially suited to music sources · dOLBY PLII GAME ­ Up to 5. 1 channel sound, especially suited for video games · Press repeatedly until AUTO SURROUND shows briefly in the display (it will then show the decoding or playback format). 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). Phase Control technology provides coherent sound reproduction through the use of phase matching1 for an optimal sound image at your listening position. The default setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control switched on for all sound sources. 1 Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are `in phase', they crest and trough together, resulting in increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough (as shown in the upper section of the diagram above) then the sound will be `out of phase' and an unreliable sound image will be produced. ⷠIf your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually feel when PHASE CONTROL is set to ON on this receiver depends on the type of your subwoofer. It is also recommended you try changing the orientation or the place of your subwoofer. If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the cutoff frequency to a higher value. ⷠIf the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have a maximized PHASE CONTROL effect.
