•For linear PCM, the front signals are sent to the rear channel even if
the system is set up for “Stereo.”
•“Rear Fill” function
Depending on the input signals, the sound may only be output from
the front speakers. In this case, the “Rear Fill” function can be used
to output signals from the rear speakers as well.
•If the setting of Rear Fill is made when Rear Mix is ON, sound is
unchanged in the rear fill setting because Rear Mix is given priority
during 2 channel decoder other than linear PCM.
EUPHONY creates 5.1 channel surround using Adaptive Surround
technology based on a music signal recorded in 2-channel.
When you set up EUPHONY and play back a CD or iPod stereo source,
you can enjoy the realistic sensation of musicians playing around you.
