•DRAMA

Natural and warm sound. You can enjoy movies in a relaxed mood.

•THEATER

You can enjoy sound effects like in a major theater in Hollywood.

When you play a DVD VIDEO disc recorded in Dolby Digital which contains more than 3 channels, ACTION does not appear.

NOTES

•The 3D Phonic display will automatically disappear if you do not change the 3D PHONIC for 5 seconds.

•To turn off the 3D PHONIC display manually, press

ENTER.

•With a Video CD disc, if the Audio setting is set to L or R, you cannot activate the 3D PHONIC function (i.e the 3D PHONIC mode is fixed to OFF).

Conversly, when the 3D PHONIC function is active, changing the AUDIO setting to L or R from STEREO cancels the 3D PHONIC function.

•The 3D PHONIC function works correctly when playing back discs recorded in the Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital 5.1-CH format.

It also works when playing back discs other than those above, but does not provide the correct effect.

•The 3D PHONIC function does not affect the DTS or Dolby Digital bitstream signal from the DIGITAL OUT jack.

•The sound effect will not be set or operate, even if 3D PHONIC is pressed, for the sound of DVD VIDEO discs recorded in Linear PCM.

•When you set the 3D PHONIC function to on, the DOWN MIX and COMPRESSION settings in the AUDIO page of the preference display are disabled.
