Listening to your system

Auto listening mode

The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to listen to
any source as it was mastered: the output from the
speakers mirrors the channels in the source material.
If you set up the system for Front surround (page 8), the
Front Surround modes will give the best results (see
Using Front Surround on page 20).
