•Available sound field parameters and the created sound field differ depending on the input sources and the settings of this unit.

•Sound field programs cannot be selected when the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks is selected as the input source (page 43) or when this unit is in the PURE DIRECT mode (page 54).

•When you play back DTS 96/24 sources with any sound field program, this unit applies the selected program without activating the DTS 96/24 decoder.

•Sampling frequencies higher than 48 kHz are sampled down to 48 kHz or lower and then sound field programs are applied.
