Notes

•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.

•This function does not work when:

–ANALOG DIRECT is selected.

–signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz is input.

•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” on the SYSTEM menu. However, the sound will be output from the sub woofer if

–the digital input signal contains LFE signals.

–the front and surround speakers are set to “SMALL”.

–the sound field for movie is selected.

–the portable audio is selected.
