Notes:
•If a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is input when the input mode is set to “AUTO”, the sound field program automatically switches to the appropriate decoding program.
•Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not on the name of the program. The acoustics of your listening room affect the sound field program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to maximize the effect created by the program.
•When you select an input source, the main unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with that source.
•When you turn off the main unit, the current source and sound field program are memorized and are automatically selected when you turn on the power again.
•When high rate 96kHz sampling 24 bit digital signals are output from source equipment, the DSP sound field cannot operate on the source sounds. In this case,
the sounds are reproduced as normal
