PROGRAM
Enjoying unprocessed playback
You can play back input sources without any sound field effect
processing.
■ Playing back in original channels
(straight decode)
When the straight decode mode is enabled, the unit produces
stereo sound from the front speakers for 2-channel sources such as
CDs, and produces unprocessed multichannel sounds for
multichannel sources.
1
Press STRAIGHT.
Each time you press the key, the straight decode mode is
enabled or disabled.
• (RX-V579 only)
To enable 6.1/7.1-channel playback from 5.1-channel sources when surround
back speakers are used, set “Extended Surround” (p.73) in the “Option” menu to a
setting other than “Off”.
■ Playing back 2-channel sources in
multichannel (surround decoder)
The surround decoder enables unprocessed multichannel
playback from 2-channel sources. When a multichannel source is
input, it works the same way as the straight decode mode.
For details on each decoder see “Glossary” (p.110).
1
Press PROGRAM repeatedly to select a surround
decoder.
The previously selected surround decoder is selected. You
can change the surround decoder in “Sur.Decode” (p.72) in
the “Option” menu.
* RX-V579 only
• (RX-V579 only)
You cannot select the Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoders when headphones are
connected or when “Surround Back” in the “Setup” menu is set to “None”.
• You can adjust the surround decoder parameters in “DSP Parameter” (p.86)
in the “Setup” menu.
