Note
If you connect a pair of headphones while a sound field
is operating, the system will automatically switch to
“HP 2CH” if using a sound field selected with the 2CH
or A.F.D. button, or to “HP THEATER” if using a
sound field selected with the MOVIE or MUSIC
button.

A.F.D. repeatedly to select “A.F.D. AUTO”.
Tips
• The receiver lets you apply the last selected sound
field to an input whenever it is selected (Sound Field
Link). For example, if you select HALL for the
SA-CD/CD input, then change to a different input
and then return to SA-CD/CD, HALL will
automatically be applied again.
• You can identify the encoding format of DVD
software, etc. by looking at the logo on the package.
– : Dolby Digital discs
– : Dolby Surround encoded
programs
– : DTS Digital Surround encoded programs
Notes
• Sound fields do not function for the signals with a
sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz.
• When one of the following sound fields are selected,
no sound is output from the sub woofer if all the
speakers are set to “LARGE” in the SET UP menu.
However, the sound will be output from the sub
woofer if the digital input signal contains LFE (Low
Frequency Effect) signals, or if the front, center, or
surround speakers are set to “SMALL”.
