Notes
•The effects provided by the virtual speakers may
cause increased noise in the playback signal.

virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any
sound coming directly from the surround speakers.
•This function does not work when
– signals with a sampling frequency of more than
48 kHz are input.
– multi channel Linear PCM signals are received
via an HDMI jack.
Tips

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

technology. For details on Digital Cinema Sound
(DCS), see “Glossary” (page 62).
