BYPASS mode: Audio signals bypass signal processing circuits for surround sound and are played in stereo mode.

If Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Virtual Speaker or Dolby Headphone mode is combined with BYPASS mode, you will enjoy its original surround effects, not affected by other surround modes.

•When MPEG signals are input in the required decoding mode, the corresponding surround mode will be automatically selected regardless of using the MULTI CONTROL knob or DSP MODE UP(>) or DOWN(<) button.

Notes:

•When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input flickers, meaning the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the required decoding mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.

•When the 8 CH DIRECT is selected as an input source, the decoding and surround modes cannot be selected.

•When the pure audio function is activated, the surround mode cannot be selected.

•When 96 kHz PCM signals are input, only the stereo mode can be selected.

•When DTS 96/24 or MPEG signals are input, the Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone modes cannot be selected.
