DCS

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

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.

– : Dolby Digital discs

– : Dolby Surround encoded programs

– : DTS Digital Surround encoded programs

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”.
