xHP. THEATER (HEADPHONE THEATER)

This mode is very effective with 5.1 ch discrete signal sources like Dolby Digital and DTS.

xHP.[2CH] (HEADPHONE 2CH)

This mode outputs the sound from the headphone L/R. Standard 2 channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. Multi channel surround formats are downmixed to two channels.

To turn the surround effect off

Press A.F.D. on the remote repeatedly until “A.F.D AUTO” appears in the front panel display, or press 2CH on the remote to display “2CH STEREO.”

Notes

•This function is unavailable when playing Super Audio CDs.

•When you play a Super Audio CD (Direct Stream Digital), the sound field changes to “AUTO FORMAT DIRECT AUTO” automatically.

•For PCM96 kHz sources, 2CH, A.F.D. and MODE is not available.

Tips

•When you want to output the TV sound or stereo sound of a 2 channel source from the 7 speakers, select any sound field other than “AUTO FORMAT DIRECT AUTO” or “2CH STEREO.”

•Whenever you select a function such as DVD or TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to that function is automatically applied again. For example, if you listen to DVD with HALL as the sound field, then change to another function, and then return to DVD, HALL will be applied again. With the tuner, sound fields are memorized separately for all preset stations.
