the speakers.

d.This setting works only with dual mono encoded Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks.

e.The initial set AUTO is only available for Dolby TrueHD signals. Select MAX or MID for signals other than Dolby TrueHD.

f.You shouldn’t have any problems using this with most SACD discs, but if the sound distorts, it is best to switch the gain setting back to 0 dB.

g.This feature is only available when the connected display supports the automatic audio/video synchronizing capability (‘lip-sync’) for HDMI. If you find the automatically set delay time unsuitable, set A.DLY to OFF and adjust the delay time manually. For more details about the lip-sync feature of your display, contact the manufacturer directly.

h.Only available with 2-channel sources in DOLBY PLII MUSIC mode.
