Notes
All the sound fields can be used with Dolby Digital (AC-3)
sound sources.
The EFFECT parameter allows you to adjust the overall
presence of the sound field.
The volume of the rear speakers, subwoofer, and center
speaker can still be adjusted even when the DIRECT PASS
button lights up.
Before you get started

“Dolby Digital” on page 16. This section describes
how to adjust the levels of your speaker system and
