If desired, adjust the delay time and the sound output level of each speaker. (Refer to pages 35 and 36 for details.)

Notes

You can select a DSP program for each of the input sources. Once you select a program, it is linked with the input source selected at that time. So, when you select the input source next time, the same program is automatically selected.

When a monaural source is being played with PRO LOGIC/ Normal or PRO LOGIC/ENHANCED, no sound will be heard from the main speakers and the rear speakers. Sound can only be heard from the center speaker. However, if “CENTER SP” in the SET MENU is set to the NONE position, the center channel sound is output from the main speakers.

When a source connected to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals of this unit is selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be used.

Notes

If the sound effect is canceled when Dolby Digital is decoding, the sounds of all channels are mixed and output from the main speakers.

If you turn off the sound effect when Dolby Digital is decoding, it may happen that the sound is output faintly or not output normally, depending on the source. In that case, turn back on the sound effect.
