CONFIGURATIONS ➤ Configuring various functions (Setup menu) En 130
■ Initial Volume
Sets the initial volume when the receiver is turned on.
Settings
■ Pure Direct Mode
Selects whether to output video signals during the Pure Direct mode (p.75).
Settings
■ Adaptive DSP Level
Selects whether to automatically adjust the CINEMA DSP effect level.
Settings
■ CINEMA DSP 3D Mode
Enables/disables CINEMA DSP HD³ (RX-A3040) or CINEMA DSP 3D (RX-A2040)
(p.71). If this function is set to “On”, CINEMA DSP HD³/CINEMA DSP 3D functions with
the selected sound programs (except 2ch Stereo and 9ch Stereo).
Settings
■ Extended Surround
Selects how to play back 5.1- to 7.1-channel sources when surround back speakers
are used.
Settings
• Some early Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES sources do not contain a flag for reproducing surround
back channel. We recommend you set “Extended Surround” to “bPLIIx Movie” or “EX/ES” when playing
back those sources.
■ VPS
(RX-A3040 only)
Selects whether to create Virtual Presence Speaker (VPS) using the front, center, and
surround speakers. When VPS is enabled, the unit creates front VPS when no front
presence speakers are connected, and creates rear VPS when front presence
speakers are connected but no rear presence speakers (p.71).
Settings
• Depending on the installation height of the surround speakers, VPS may not be effective. In this case, set
“VPS” to “Off”.
Off
Sets the level to the volume level of the unit when it last entered
standby mode.
On
Sets at Mute or the specified volume level (-80.0 dB to +16.5 dB,
0.5 dB increments).
(Specify a volume level which is lower than the “Max Volume” setting.)
Auto
Automatically outputs video signals when any videos are input from
the selected input source or an input source that can be operated with
the on-screen display is selected. When no video signals are input,
the wall paper is displayed.

surround back channel signals are input, and reproduces the signals
in 6.1- or 7.1-channel. If two surround back speakers are connected,
the unit reproduces the 5.1-channel signals in 7.1-channel.

IIx Movie decoder. This setting is available only when two surround
back speakers are connected.

Logic IIx Music decoder. This setting is available only when one or two
surround back speakers are connected.

reproduces signals in 6.1- or 7.1-channel.
Off
Always reproduces signals in their original channels. (Even when
DTS-ES or Dolby Digital Surround EX signal is input, the unit
reproduces the signal in 5.1-channel.)
