7 All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH STEREO)

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers. This mode cannot

be used if “SURROUND SPK” is set to “NO” in the speaker setting (see page 30).

3D HEADPHONE mode

If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the Surround/DSP modes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back.

“3D HEADPHONE” appears on the display and the DSP and HEADPHONE indicators light up.

Using the Surround/DSP modes

Available Surround/DSP modes vary depending on the speaker settings and the incoming signals. See the table below.

The numbers inside the parentheses following the incoming signal type indicate the number of the front channels and that of the surround channels. For example, (3/2) indicates that the signals are encoded with three front signals (left/right/center) and two (stereo) surround signals.

For EX/ES/PLIIx setting, see page 32.
