Default Surround Mode
In normal operation, when the AVR 240 senses a
Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio data stream, it will
automatically switch to the appropriate default sur-
round mode, with the AVR responding to the data flags
that are encoded on the DVD disc or in the digital
video broadcast. In most cases, this is the correct
mode, but you may have a particular preference for
the mode you wish to hear when Dolby Digital or DTS
is present. As described on pages 35–36, you may
select from several available choices of Dolby or DTS
modes, depending on the number of channels you
have configured your AVR for and the format of the
incoming bitstream.
The AVR 240 allows you to set the unit so that it will
either respond to the default or switch to your desired
mode. If you wish to leave the default so that the sur-
round mode information as it is encoded in the disc is
always used, no further action is needed. Simply leave
the setting at the factory default of ON.
To set the unit so that it responds to the last surround
mode you selected when a Dolby Digital or DTS
source was playing, with the
ADVANCED
SELECT menu on screen, press the

so that the

cursor is pointing to
the DEFAULT SURR MODE line. Press the

/
¤
Buttons
o
so that
OFF
appears. The unit
will now switch to the last selected mode instead of
the disc’s default mode for Dolby and DTS digitally
encoded data streams.
This setting does not apply to standard PCM digital
inputs or to analog sources. In those cases, the unit
will always apply the surround or processing mode
that was last used for that input.
