Selecting a Surround Mode
Surround mode selection can be as simple or sophisticated as your
individual system and tastes. Feel free to experiment with the many
available surround modes on the AVR 245, and you may find a few that
become your favorites for certain sources or program types. Although
more detailed information on surround modes may be found in the
Advanced Functions section, it is easy to select any of the modes avail-
able at a given time:
To select a surround mode using the front-panel controls, press the
Surround Mode Button repeatedly until the desired group of modes is
selected: Logic 7, Dolby, DTS, DSP or Stereo. Then press the Surround
Select Button repeatedly to select the desired mode within the group.
See Figure 75.

dedicated to the desired group of modes: Logic 7, Dolby Sur, DTS Sur,
DTS Neo:6, Surr (DSP) or Stereo. Press that button repeatedly to select
the desired mode. See Figure 76.
To select a surround mode using the full-OSD menu system, press the
OSD Button to display the Master Menu. Navigate to the SURROUND
SELECT line and press the Set Button to view the Surround Select
menu (see Figure 78). Each of the major surround mode groups is

of an individual mode. As explained in the Advanced Functions section,
