Default Surround Mode
In normal operation, when the AVR 140 senses a
Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio data stream, it will
automatically default to the surround mode encoded
on the
DVD disc or in the digital video broadcast. (If a
t
wo-channel analog or PCM signal is detected, the
AVR will default to the Logic 7 Music/7.1 mode, or
the last surround mode you selected.) 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
31–32, 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 140 allows you to set the unit so that it will
either use the default mode or switch to your desired
mode. If you wish to set the AVR so that the surround
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 /¤
Buttons n 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 (including the tuner). In
those cases, the unit will always apply the surround or
processing mode that was last used for that input.
If you wish to make other adjustments, press the
/¤ Buttons n until the on-screen cursor
is next to the desired setting or the
BACK TO
MASTER MENU
line and press the Set Button
p. If you have no other adjustments to make, press
the
OSD Button v to exit the menu system.
Full-OSD Background Color
When the full-OSD menu system is in use, the default
display appears with a solid blue background with
white characters. If you wish, you may select a solid
b
lack background as the default
.
This setting may be changed by pressing the
OSD
Button
