Notes

When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last DSP program used with that source.

When you set this unit in the standby mode, the current source and DSP program are memorized and are automatically selected when you turn on the power again.

If a Dolby Digital or DTS signal is input when the input mode is set to AUTO, the DSP program (No. 9–11) automatically switches to the appropriate decoding program.

When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/

Normal or PRO LOGIC/Enhanced, PRO LOGIC Movie, or Neo: 6 Cinema, no sound will be heard from the main speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center speaker. However, if “1A CENTER SP” on the SET MENU is set to NONE, the center channel sound is output from the main speakers.

When a source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit is selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be used.

y

Choose a DSP program based on your listening preference, and not on the name of the program. The acoustics of your listening room affect the DSP program. Minimize the sound reflections in your room to maximize the effect created by the program.

DTS 96/24

Select DTS DIGITAL SUR/Normal among CINEMA DSP programs or press STEREO/EFFECT to turn off the sound effect in order to decode the DTS 96/24 signal. DTS 96/24 decoder does not function in other cases.

When the sound effect is turned off by pressing STEREO/EFFECT, this unit plays the DTS 96/24 signal in 2-channel stereo at the sampling frequency 96 kHz.

Press EX/ES for 6.1-channel playback. However, the DTS 96/24 decoder does not function during 6.1- channel playback.

96KHz /24bit indicator lights up while the DTS 96/24 decoder functions.
