Note

Based on the audio channels contained in the source, the corresponding speakers will output the sound. If Powered Zone 2 is being used, Dolby Pro Logic II is used.

Surround back speakers are not supported. Front high speakers are not supported.

For the Blu-ray Discs, Dolby Digital is used in a 3.1/5.1-channel speaker system.

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.

DTS is used depending on the configuration of the AV receiver (e.g., Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is on or Powered Zone 2 is being used).

If there are no surround back speakers or Powered Zone 2 is being used, DTS is used.

Output can be switched between front high or surround back speakers by pressing SP LAYOUT [depending on the “Speaker Con- figuration” setting (➔ 39)].

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