Using Surround Back Channel Processing; Setting The Up Mix Function - Pioneer VSX-819H Mode D'emploi

Listening to your system
Using surround back channel
processing
You can set the surround back channel when
the surround back speaker is connected and
NO is not selected for the speaker setting
(page 42).
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).

(for example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES)

Setting the Up Mix function

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 24.
• 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.
