SURROUND MODE
The SR5600 is equipped with many surround
modes. These are provided to reproduce a variety
of surround sound effects, according to the content
of the source to be played.
The available surround modes may be restricted
depending on the input signal and speaker setup.
AUTO
W h e n t h i s m o d e i s s e l e c t e d , t h e r e c e i v e r
determines whether the digital input signal is Dolby
Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES,
DTS 96/24 or PCM-audio.
Surround EX & DTS-ES will operate for multichannel
source that has a Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-
ES auto trigger flag in the digital signal.
When a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input, the
number of channels for which the corresponding
signal is encoded will be played.
Inputting a Dolby Digital two channel signal with
Dolby surround status automatically subjects that
signal to Pro Logic

x movie processing before
play.
PCM 96 kHz source material can be played in this
mode.
Notes:
• When you use this mode with certain DVD and
CD players, performing operations such as “Skip”
or “Stop” may momentarily interrupt the output.
• When the signal is not decoded, the mode is
changed to AUTO mode automatically. Refer to
page 23 to confirm the available decoding mode.
