Notes
•When you select S. HALL, L. HALL, JAZZ and L. HOUSE, no sound is output from the sub woofer if you select NORM. SP. and your front speaker size is set to “LARGE”. However, sound will be output from the sub woofer if the digital input signal contains L.F.E. signals.
•The effects provided by the virtual speakers may cause increased noise in the play back signal.
•When listening to sound fields that employ the virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surround speakers.
