Using surround back channel
processing
• Default setting:
SBch ON
You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby
Digital EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use
6.1 or 7.1 decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded
material). With 5.1 encoded sources, a surround back
channel will be generated, but the material may sound
better in the 5.1 format for which it was originally
encoded (in which case, you can simply switch surround
back channel processing off).
The table below indicates when you will hear the
surround back channel when playing various kinds of
sources (
=Sound plays through surround back
speaker(s)).

for 5.1 encoded material)
•
SBch AUTO
– Automatically switches to 6.1 or 7.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example,

•
SBch OFF
– No sound is output from the surround
back speakers
Using the Virtual Surround Back mode
When you’re not using surround back speakers,
selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual surround
back channel through your surround speakers. You can
choose to listen to sources with no surround back
channel information, or if the material sounds better in
the format (for example, 5.1) for which it was originally
encoded, you can have the receiver only apply this effect
to 6.1 encoded sources like Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES.
2
The table indicates when you will hear the virtual
surround back channel (
=Virtual surround back
channel is active).
•
Press SBch repeatedly to cycle the virtual surround
back channel options.
Each press cycles through the options as follows:
•
VirtualSB ON
– Virtual Surround Back is always used
(for example, on 5.1 encoded material)
•
VirtualSB AUTO
– Virtual Surround Back is
automatically applied to 6.1 encoded sources (for
example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES)
•
VirtualSB OFF
– Virtual Surround Back mode is
switched off
Note
1 By using a combination of surround back channel processing selection with speaker system selection it is possible to switch between a speaker
configuration for high sound quality multi-channel music sources (DVD Audio discs, SACDs, etc.) and the speaker configuration recommended by THX for
viewing movies. For details, see
Switching the speaker system according to the playback environment (Application Manual)
on page 69.
