Default Surround Mode
In normal operation, when the AVR 340 senses a
Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio data stream, it will
automatically default to the surround mode encoded
on the DVD disc or in the digital video broadcast. (If a
two-channel analog or PCM signal is detected, the
AVR will default to the Logic 7 Music/7.1 mode, or
the last surround mode you selected for that source.)
In most cases, this is the correct mode, but you may
have a particular preference for the mode you wish
to hear when Dolby Digital or DTS is present. As
described on pages 39–40, you may select from
several available choices of Dolby or DTS modes,
depending on the number of channels you have con-
figured your AVR for and the format of the incoming
bitstream.
The AVR 340 allows you to set the unit so that it will
either use the default mode or switch to your desired
mode. If you wish to set the AVR so that the surround
mode information as it is encoded in the disc is always
used, no further action is needed. Simply leave the
setting at the factory default of
ON
.
To set the unit so that it responds to the last surround
mode you selected when a Dolby Digital or DTS
source was playing, with the

appears. The unit
will now switch to the last selected mode instead of
the disc’s default mode for Dolby and DTS digitally
encoded data streams.
This setting does not apply to standard PCM digital
inputs or to analog sources (including the tuner). In
those cases, the unit will always apply the surround or
processing mode that was last used for that input.
