Notes

Speaker and headphone adjustments are stored independently.

When “TC.BYPASS” is set to “AUTO” (see page 73), and “BASS” and “TREBLE” are set to 0 dB, audio output automatically bypasses the tone control circuitry of this unit.

If you increase or decrease the high-frequency or low- frequency sound to an extreme level, the tonal quality of the surround speakers may not match that of the front left and right speakers.

TONE CONTROL is not effective when the “DIRECT STEREO” mode (see page 37) is selected or when “MULTI CH INPUT” (see page 36) is selected as the input source.

To enjoy multi-channel sources in surround, see page 39 for details.

Notes

Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not merely on the name of the program.

When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with the corresponding input source.

Sound field programs cannot be selected when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (see page 36).

Sampling frequencies higher than 48 kHz (except for DTS 96/24 signals) are sampled down to 48 kHz and then sound field programs are applied.

To display information about the currently selected input source in the front panel display, see page 37 for details.
