When the headphones are connected

You can select only from the following sound fields.

xHP 2CH (HEADPHONE 2CH)

Outputs the sound in 2 channel (stereo). Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing and multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channels.

xHP DIRECT (HEADPHONE DIRECT)

Outputs the analog signals without processing by the equalizer, sound field, etc.

xHP MULTI 1/2 (HEADPHONE MULTI 1 or 2)

Outputs the front analog signals from MULTI CH IN 1 or 2 jacks.

xHP THEATER(HEADPHONE THEATER) DCS

Allows you to experience a theater-like environment while listening through a pair of headphones.

Note

If you connect a pair of headphones while a sound field is operating, the system will automatically switch to “HP 2CH” if using a sound field selected with the 2CH or A.F.D. button, or to “HP THEATER” if using a sound field selected with the MOVIE or MUSIC button.

To turn off the surround effect

Press 2CH to select “2CH STEREO” or press A.F.D. repeatedly to select “A.F.D. AUTO”.

Tips

The receiver lets you apply the last selected sound field to an input whenever it is selected (Sound Field Link). For example, if you select HALL for the SA-CD/CD input, then change to a different input and then return to SA-CD/CD, HALL will automatically be applied again.

You can identify the encoding format of DVD software, etc. by looking at the logo on the package.

Notes

Sound fields do not function for the signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz.

When one of the following sound fields are selected, no sound is output from the sub woofer if all the speakers are set to “LARGE” in the SET UP menu. However, the sound will be output from the sub woofer if the digital input signal contains LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signals, or if the front, center, or surround speakers are set to “SMALL”.
