Notes
• The effects provided by the virtual speakers may cause
increased noise in the play back signal.
• When listening to sound fields that employ the virtual
speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming
directly from the surround speakers.
Use the buttons on the front panel to operate the
following modes.
A.F.D. (Auto Format Decoding)
Automatically detects the type of audio signal being input
(Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, or standard 2
channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding if
necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was
recorded/encoded, without adding any effects (e.g.
reverberation.)
2CH (2 Channel)
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.
MULTI/2CH A. DIRECT (Multi/2 CH Analog Direct)
The analog input signal is not digitally processed. You can
enjoy high quality analog source. Only volume control
and the front speaker balance can be adjusted when set to
2CH A. DIRECT. When set to MULTI DIRECT, you can
adjust balance and level of all the speakers. When this
function is on, the equalizer, sound field (etc.) are turned
off.
Note
No sound is output from the sub woofer when the 2 CHANNEL
mode is selected. To listen to two channel (stereo) sources using
the front left and right speakers and a sub woofer, use the AUTO
FORMAT DECODING mode.
