Notes

The listening mode is set to “Stereo” when the PCM sound whose sampling frequency is higher than 48kHz is played. Such high- resolution sounds are reproduced from sources such as DVD video.

When the input source is monaural, such as AM radio ro TV, if you set the surround mode to PLII Movie or PLII Music, sound reproduction is concentrated around the center speaker. Surround mode is especially suited for enjoyment of monaural sound.
