Using The Surround Back Channel (Extended Mode) - Pioneer VSX-415 Mode D'emploi

Listening to your system
Using the surround back channel
(Extended mode)
VSX-515 model only
• Default setting: EXT. ON
You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for
example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES), or you
can choose to always use 6.1 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 origi-
nally encoded (in which case, you can simply
switch the Extended mode off).
