Speaker and headphone adjustments are stored independently.

When “TONE BYPASS” is set to “AUTO” (see page 82), and “BASS” and “TREBLE” are set to 0 dB, audio output automatically bypasses the tone control circuitry of this unit.

Notes

Choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, not merely on the name of the program.

When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with the corresponding input source.

Sound field programs cannot be selected when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (see page 37).

Sampling frequencies higher than 48 kHz (except for DTS 96/24 signals) are sampled down to 48 kHz and then sound field programs are applied.

To display information about the currently selected input source in the OSD, see page 39 for details.
