Using surround back channel
processing
VSX-817 model only
• Default setting: SB 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 surround back processing off). 3
