Escuchar su sistema

Elección del modo de escucha

Este receptor ofrece varios modos de escucha para
adaptarse a la reproducción de distintos formatos de audio.
Elija uno según su entorno de altavoces o la fuente.
Mientras escuche una fuente, pulse el botón de modo
de escucha varias veces para seleccionar el modo de
escucha que desee.
• El modo de escucha aparece en la pantalla del panel
frontal.
Importante
Los modos de escucha y muchas funciones descritas en
esta sección pueden no estar disponibles dependiendo
de la fuente actual, los ajustes y el estado del receptor.
Reproducción automática
La opción de escucha más simple y directa es la función
AUTO SURROUND. Con esta función, el receptor detecta
automáticamente el tipo de fuente que se está
reproduciendo y selecciona el modo apropiado para dicha
fuente: reproducción multicanal o estéreo.
• Pulse este botón AUTO/DIRECT repetidamente hasta
que AUTO SURROUND se muestre brevemente en la
pantalla (a continuación mostrará el formato de
descodificación o reproducción). Compruebe los
indicadores de formato digital en la pantalla para ver
cómo se está procesando la fuente.
Nota
• Los formatos de sonido envolvente estéreo (matriz) se
descodifican con NEO:6 CINEMA o DOLBY PLIIx MOVIE
(para más detalles sobre estos formatos de
descodificación, consulte más abajo Reproducción con
sonido envolvente).
• Mientras escuche la entrada ADAPTER, la función S.R
AIR se selecciona automáticamente (para más detalles
sobre estos formatos de descodificación, consulte Uso de
Advanced surround en la página 30).
Reproducción con sonido envolvente
Este receptor permite escuchar cualquier fuente en modo de
sonido envolvente. Sin embargo, las opciones disponibles
dependerán de la configuración de los altavoces y del tipo de
fuente que esté escuchando.
• Si la fuente es Dolby Digital, DTS o Dolby Surround
codificado, el formato de descodificación apropiado será
seleccionado automáticamente y se visualizará en la
pantalla.
Cuando selecciona STEREO ALC (modo estéreo Auto Level
Control), esta unidad ecualiza los niveles de sonido de
reproducción si cada uno de los niveles de sonido varía con
la fuente de música grabada en un reproductor de audio
portátil.
Cuando seleccione STEREO, escuchará la fuente solamente
a través de los altavoces delanteros izquierdo y derecho (y
posiblemente a través del subwoofer, dependiendo de la
configuración de los altavoces). Las fuentes multicanal
Dolby Digital y DTS se mezclan a estéreo.
Los siguientes modos ofrecen sonido envolvente básico para
fuentes estéreo y multicanal.
