Tips
• The receiver lets you apply the last selected sound
field to a program source whenever it is selected
(Sound Field Link). For example, if you listen to
CD with “JAZZ” as the sound field, change to a
different program source, then return to CD,
“JAZZ” will be applied again.
• You can identify the encoding format of program
software by looking at its packaging.
Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the
logo, and Dolby Surround encoded programs are
labeled with the
logo.
• When sound signals with a sampling frequency of
96 kHz are input, the sound signals are output in
stereo automatically, and the sound field is turned
off.
Using only the front
speakers (2 Channel Stereo)
Press 2CH.
“2CH ST.” appears in the display.
This mode outputs the sound from the front left
and right speakers only. Standard 2 channel
(stereo) sources completely bypass the sound
field processing. Multi channel surround
formats are downmixed to 2 channel.
Notes
• No sound is output from the sub woofer when
“2CH ST.” is selected. To listen to 2 channel
(stereo) sources using the front left and right
speakers and a sub woofer, press A.DEC to select
“AUTO DEC.”
• When you select “Micro Satellite Speaker” (page
16), internal sound processor will automatically
redirect bass sound to sub woofer. If you want to
listen to two channel (stereo) sources under this
setting, we recommend that you choose “AUTO
DEC.” mode so that you can take advantage of
your sub woofer to obtain the correct bass signal.
