Auto playback
There are many ways to listen back to sources using this

automatically detects what kind of source you’re playing
and selects multichannel or stereo playback as
necessary.

auto playback of a source.
AUTO SURROUND
shows briefly in the display before
showing the decoding or playback format. Check the
digital format indicators in the front panel display to see
how the source is being processed.
Note

accordingly using
Neo:6 CINEMA
or

Pro Logic
IIx MOVIE
(see
Listening in surround sound
below for
more on these decoding formats).
• The Auto Surround feature is canceled if you connect
headphones or select the multichannel analog
inputs.
