Selecting a preprogrammed sound field

(DCS)

You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver’s preprogrammed sound fields. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters and concert halls into your home.

A.F.D.MOVIE

2CH

MUSIC

Press MOVIE repeatedly to select a sound field for movies or press MUSIC repeatedly to select a sound field for music.

The sound field list appears.

You can also select “MOVIE” or “MUSIC” in the Sur Settings menu. For details, see “Settings for the surround sound (Sur Settings menu)” (page 63).

Notes

•The sound fields for music and movie do not work in the following cases.

–MULTI IN is selected.

–Input signals of which the sampling frequency is more than 48 kHz are being received.

–The multi-channel PCM signals are received via an HDMI IN jack.

•If you set up the sound field during DTS 96/24 signal reception, it will play back only at 48 kHz.

•The effects provided by the virtual speakers may cause increased noise in the playback signal.

•When listening with sound fields that employ the virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surround speakers.

•When one of the sound fields for music is selected, no sound is output from the sub woofer if all the speakers are set to “LARGE” in the System Settings menu. However, the sound will be output from the sub woofer if the digital input signal contains L.F.E. signals, the front or surround speakers are set to “SMALL,” the sound field for movie is selected, or “PORTABLE AUDIO” is selected.

•The surround back decoding mode does not function while a sound field for music is selected (page 64).

Tips

•Sound fields with DCSmarks use DCS technology. See “Glossary” (page 117).

•When the sound field’s DCSmark is selected, the Digital Cinema Sound lamp lights up on the display.
