Playing back sound clearly (My Beam)
You can improve listenability in a noisy environment by changing the beam mode to My Beam, which outputs sound beams directly toward the listening position in a single channel. In addition, My Beam is also ideal when you do not want the sound beams to be reflected on the walls in your listening room or when you do not want to disturb other people while enjoying music or movies at night.

Notes
•If an error occurs, an error buzzer is played and “MY BEAM ERROR” is displayed in the front panel display.
•An error may occur if the listening room is noisy. Make sure that the listening room is as quiet as possible while the test tones are being output.
•Do not shake or move the remote control while the test tones are being output.
•Do not cover the My Beam microphone on the remote control while the test tones are being output.
•The batteries in the remote control may be weak if the remote control does not function properly. In this case, replace all the batteries and then try the procedure again.
•When the input signal with 64 kHz, 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz of sampling frequency is being played back, the beam angle cannot be automatically adjusted.
