About relations between speaker layout
and Surround/DSP modes
Available Surround/DSP modes will vary depending on how many
speakers are used with this receiver.
Make sure that you have set the speakers information correctly
(see pages 16 to 19).
• If only front speakers are connected, you cannot use the Surround
modes.
• If surround speakers are not connected, you cannot use DSP
modes.
When multi-channel digital software such as Dolby Digital or DTS
Digital Surround is played back, the appropriate multichannel
Surround mode is automatically activated ("DOLBY D" or "DTS") by
pressing SURROUND (with the digital input mode selected).
• For Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you can select "PLII MUSIC"
or "PLII MOVIE" by pressing SURROUND.
• For more details, see "Available Surround/DSP modes for each
input signal" on page 27.
