Setting Listening Mode Preferences
Audio content with specic surround encoding, ie Blu-ray
Discs, DVD-Video Discs, digital cable and satellite program-
ming, are typically best experienced by listening to the audio
using the Listening Mode it was produced with (See previous
section: Automatic Listening Mode Selection). Other types
of audio content such as stereo digital audio from CD, or stereo
analog content from standard cable, a Tape Deck or the M80
Tuner have multiple Listening Mode options. These options
can be set to user preference.
The Listening Mode Setup screen, Diagram 103, allows dier-
ent Listening Modes to be set as preferences to be used when
specic types of audio signals are detected. With all options set
to None, (no preference), the M80 will detect the type of audio
encoding for the incoming signal and automatically apply the
appropriate Listening Mode. When a preference has been set
for a type of input (analog/digital) or process (Dolby/DTS) the
M80 will switch to that Listening Mode whenever a like input
(analog/digital) is selected or encoding (Dolby/DTS) is detect-
ed for that source.
Note: Not all modes are available for all sources and con-
tent. Some modes are only available in the auto-select mode
(None). Some modes are 5.1/7.1 conguration dependent.
