Using surround back channel processing (VSX-
828 only)
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).
With a 7.1-channel surround system, audio signals that
have undergone matrix decoding processing through
surround back channel processing to which the Up Mix
function is added are output from the surround back
speakers.
Press , then press
SB CH
repeatedly to cycle
the surround back channel options.
Each press cycles through the options as follows:
SB ON – Matrix decoding processing for generating
the surround back component from the surround
component is turned on.
SB AUTO – Matrix decoding processing for generating
the surround back component from the surround
component is switched automatically. Matrix
decoding processing is only performed when surround
back channel signals are detected in the input signals.
SB OFF – Matrix decoding processing for generating
the surround back component from the surround
component is turned off.
Setting the Up Mix function (VSX-828 only)
In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers
placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the
surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side.
The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround
speakers with the surround back speakers so that the
surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it
should be.
Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers in
the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as
recommended in the example on page 11
.
Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound
source, in some cases it may not be possible to achieve
good results. In this case, set the setting to OFF.

signals.
May automatically be set to OFF even when set to ON,
depending on the input signal and listening mode.

function.
