If the Surr Back setting is set to anything other than None
in the Speaker Configuration (page 50), and if the sur-
round information in the current input signal is “
3/2.1
”
or “
3/3.1”
(you can check the format of a digital input
signal on page 35, “Displaying Source Information.”),
you can determine whether Dolby Digital and DTS
material is played using 6.1-channels or 5.1-channels.

If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital
EX flag, Dolby Digital EX or THX Surround
EX is used. If not, Dolby Digital 5.1 or THX
Cinema is used.

regardless of whether the source signal con-
tains a Dolby Digital EX flag. You can switch
Dolby Digital EX, PL IIx Music and THX Sur-
round EX.

Dolby Digital 5.1 is used even if a Dolby Dig-
ital EX flag is present.

DTS-ES 6.1 or DTS-ES+THX Cinema is used.

source signal contains a DTS-ES flag. If the
source signal contains a DTS-ES flag, DTS-ES
6.1 or DTS-ES+THX Cinema is selected auto-
matically. If the source signal does not contain
a DTS-ES flag, you can select DTS+Dolby EX,
PL IIx Music, DTS+Neo:6, THX Surr EX, or
