Turning On & Basic Operations

Note

These listening modes cannot be selected during USB or iPod playback.

Based on the audio channel signal contained in the source, the corresponding speakers will output the sound.

The AV receiver can input the DSD signal from HDMI IN. Setting the output setting on the player side to PCM might obtain a better sound according to the player. In that case, set the output setting on the player side to PCM.

For the Blu-ray Discs, Dolby Digital is used in a 3.1/5.1-channel speaker system. DTS is used depending on the configuration of the AV receiver.

If there are no surround back speakers, DTS is used.

If there are no surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II is used.

• The listening modes cannot be selected with some source formats.
