• Certain features explained in this section
will not be possible depending on the
source (for example, PCM 88.2 kHz / 96 kHz,
DTS 96 kHz (24 bit) or WMA9 Pro sources).

Auto Surround feature. With this, the receiver
automatically detects what kind of source
you’re playing and selects multichannel or
