Notes

•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.

•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 automatically switches to the appropriate decoding program.

•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 “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.

•When 96-kHz sampling digital signals are input to this unit, the DSP program cannot be selected. In this case, the sound is reproduced as normal 2-channel stereo.
