( ): Possible only when surround back channel is not set to None.(Refer to When selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION on page 49.)
BYPASS mode: Audio signals bypass signal processing circuits for surround sound and are played in stereo mode.
If Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Virtual Speaker or Dolby Headphone mode is combined with BYPASS mode, you will enjoy
its original surround effects, not affected by other surround modes.
Notes:
When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input flickers,
meaning the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the required
decoding mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.
When the pure audio function is activated, the surround mode cannot be selected.
When 96 kHz PCM signals are input, only the stereo mode can be selected.
When DTS 96/24 or MPEG signals are input, the Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone modes
cannot be selected.
When the Dolby surround mode is selected

Combined with the original surround mode, the Dolby surround mode can be selected as follows:

(original surround mode)
( ) : Impossible only when the power amplifier for the surround back channels is assigned to the ROOM2 or surround back channel
is set to None.
In case of playing in the stereo or 2CH downmix mode, it is canceled and the selected PL IIx or DOLBY VS mode
will be combined with the previous mode.

Combined with the current mode, the Dolby Headphone mode can be selected as follows:

If you select the Dolby Headphone off mode, either the stereo mode or the 2 CH downmix mode will be selected
depending on the signal format which is being input.

In case that the original surround mode is DOLBY DIGITAL EX or DTS ES mode, it will be automatically changed to
DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS mode.
Only when playing a stereo(2 channel) source in PL IIx, DOLBY VS or DOLBY HEADPHONE mode, you can
select the original surround mode to be combined.(However, in case of PL IIx mode, you cannot select PL IImode.)
When PL IIx mode is selected while playing in PL II mode, it will be automatically changed to DOLBY DIGITAL
or BYPASS mode depending on the signal format which is being input.
When the DYNAMIC RANGE is selected
This function compresses the dynamic range of previously specified parts of the Dolby Digital sound track (with extremely
high volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the specified and non-specified parts.
This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track when watching movies at night at low levels.
The compression rate changes as follows :
Notes :
Only while the digital signals from the Dolby Digital program source are being input, the dynamic range function can be
activated.
In some Dolby Digital software, this function may not be available.
