Listening to your system

Selecting MCACC presets

• Default setting:

MEMORY 1

If you have calibrated your system for different listening

positions

, you can switch between settings to suit the

kind of source you’re listening to and where you’re sitting
(for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a
video game close to the TV).

•

While listening to a source, press MCACC (MCACC

POSITION).

Press repeatedly to select one of the six MCACC presets

or to switch calibration off. See

Data Management

page 48 to check and manage your current settings.

Choosing the input signal

You need to hook up a component to both analog and
digital inputs on the receiver to select between input

signals.

Using surround back channel processing

• Default setting:

SBch ON

You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby
Digital EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use
6.1 or 7.1 decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded
material). With 5.1 encoded sources, a surround back
channel will be generated, but the material may sound
better in the 5.1 format for which it was originally
encoded (in which case, you can simply switch surround
back channel processing off).

The table below indicates when you will hear the
surround back channel when playing various kinds of
sources (
