This unit incorporates a Dolby Digital decoder and a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder for multi-channel sound reproduction of sources encoded with Dolby Surround. The operation of these decoders can be controlled by selecting a corresponding DSP program including the combined operation of YAMAHA DSP and Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic Surround.

Notes

•If the sound effect is canceled when signals encoded with Dolby Digital are input to this unit, the signals of all channels are mixed and are output from the main speakers.

•If EFFECT is pressed to turn sound effects off when Dolby Digital is decoded, it may happen that the sound is output faintly or not output normally, depending on the source. In that case, press EFFECT to turn sound effects on, or use input signals not encoded with Dolby Digital.
