These can be turned on from the front panel or from the remote control. There are three cinema modes: STANDARD, HOME THX CINEMA, and ADVANCED THEATER. These are designed to be used with multi channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Intrinsic to home theater, these modes can deliver realistic and powerful surround sound that recreates the movie theater experience. You may need to experiment with them to see which settings suit your home system and personal tastes. The DSP and STEREO modes are designed to be used with music sources but some DSP modes are also suited for film soundtracks. Again, try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like. You must choose one of the three cinema modes or the DSP mode in order to get surround sound. In STEREO mode only the front two speakers, and sometimes the subwoofer (if you have one), are used. STANDARD mode This mode is for pure decoding of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS or MPEG sources. It is good for enjoying regular movies/videos that have been recorded in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS or MPEG. STANDARD 7. 1 is also the basic mode for enjoying sources with SURROUND BACK channels. For more detailed information see p. 85-86. You will only be able to access the second two modes if you have hooked up SURROUND BACK speaker(s). For more detailed information see p. 19, 33-34. The display will show you what kind of source (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. ) is being played. STANDARD Use this mode with sources that do not have SURROUND BACK channels. If you don't have SURROUND BACK speaker(s) switched on (see p. 33-34) this is the only STANDARD mode you will be able to select on the receiver. STANDARD 7. 1 This mode is best for sources with SURROUND BACK channels.
