Notes

There are 9 programs with sub-programs available with this unit. However, the selection depends on the input signal format and not all sub-programs can be used with all input signal formats.

You cannot use the digital sound field processor with a source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit or when the unit is reproducing a digital source with a sampling frequency greater than 48 kHz.

The acoustics of your listening room affect the DSP program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to maximize the effect created by the program.

When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last DSP program used with that source.

When you set this unit in standby mode, it stores the current source and DSP program in memory and automatically selects them when you turn on the power again.

If the unit receives a Dolby Digital or DTS signal when the input mode is set to AUTO, the DSP program (No. 7–9) automatically switches to the appropriate decoding program.

When the unit is reproducing a monaural source with PRO LOGIC or PRO LOGIC/Enhanced, or PRO LOGIC II Movie, no sound is output from the main and rear speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center speaker. (If “1A CENTER” on the set menu is set to NON, the center channel sound is output from the main speakers.)

Select a program based on your listening preference. Program names are just for reference.
