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

When the 3D PHONIC function is active, the [ANALOG OUT] setting in the [AUDIO] setting display is not available.

When one of the 3D PHONIC modes is activated, the [3D] indicator lights up in the display window.
