ound Sound

You can only select this sound field if the
headphones are connected to the receiver.

HP 2CH (HP (2 ch))

This mode is selected automatically if you use
headphones (except Analog Direct). Standard
2 channel stereo sources completely bypass
the sound field processing and multi channel
surround formats are downmixed to 2
channels except LFE signals.

Note

When headphones are connected to the S-AIR
surround amplifier, the sound field is automatically
set to “HP (2 ch)”.

HP DIRECT (HP (Direct))

This mode is selected automatically if you use
headphones when “Analog Direct” is selected.
Outputs the analog signals without processing
by the equalizer, sound field, etc.

If you connect a subwoofer

This receiver will generate a low frequency
signal for output to the subwoofer when there
is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound
effect output from a subwoofer to a 2 channel
signal. However, the low frequency signal is
not generated for “Neo:6 Cinema” or “Neo:6
Music” when all speakers are set to “Large”.
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby
Digital bass redirection circuitry, we
recommend setting the subwoofer’s cut off
frequency as high as possible.

Notes on sound fields

• Depending on the speaker pattern settings, some

sound fields may not be available.

• You cannot select PLIIx and PLIIz at the same

time.
– PLIIx is available only when the speaker pattern

is set to a setting with surround back speaker(s).

– PLIIz is available only when the speaker pattern

is set to a setting with front high speakers.

• The sound fields for music and movies do not work

in the following cases.
– Signals with a sampling frequency of more than

48 kHz are being received.

– Signals with more than 5.1 channel are being

received (except PLIIz).

• When one of the sound fields for music is selected,

no sound is output from the subwoofer if all the
speakers are set to “Large” on the Speaker Settings
menu. However, the sound will be output from the
subwoofer if
– the digital input signal contains LFE signals.
– the front or surround speakers are set to “Small”.
– the sound field for movie is selected.
– “Portable Audio” is selected.

• The effects provided by the virtual speakers may

cause increased noise in the playback signal.

• When listening with sound fields that employ the

virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any
sound coming directly from the surround speakers.

Tips

• You can identify the encoding format of DVD

software, etc., by looking at the logo on the
package.

• Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic IIz

decoding are effective when multi channel signals
are input.

• Sound fields with

DCS

marks use DCS

technology. For details on Digital Cinema Sound
(DCS), see “Glossary” (page 117).
