Selecting a sound field (continued)

To turn the surround effect off

Press A.DEC or 2CH.

Tips

•The receiver lets you apply the last selected sound field to a program source whenever it is selected (Sound Field Link). For example, if you listen to CD with “JAZZ” as the sound field, change to a different program source, then return to CD, “JAZZ” will be applied again.

•You can identify the encoding format of program sofware by looking at its packaging.

Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the logo, and Dolby Surround encoded programs are

labeled with the logo.

•When sound signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz are input, the sound signals are output in stereo automatically, and the sound field is turned off.

Using only the front

speakers (2 Channel Stereo)

Press 2CH.

“2CH ST.” appears in the display.

This mode outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers only. Standard 2 channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. Multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channel.

Notes

•No sound is output from the sub woofer when “2CH ST.” is selected. To listen to 2 channel (stereo) sources using the front left and right speakers and a sub woofer, press A.DEC to select “AUTO DEC.”

•When you select “Micro Satellite Speaker” (page 16), internal sound processor will automatically redirect bass sound to subwoofer. If you want to listen to two channel (stereo) sources under this setting, we recommend that you choose “AUTO DEC.” mode so that you can take advantage of your subwoofer to obtain the correct bass signal.
