About the WMA9 Pro decoder This unit has an on-board Windows Media™ Audio 9 Professional1 (WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using HDMI, coaxial or optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9 Pro-compatible player. However, the connected DVD player, set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro format audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital output. • You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only. • The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Surround back speaker setting on page 91. • To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver. If you're not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 91) to LARGE.

Note that WMA9 Pro 96 kHz sources will be downsampled to 48 kHz. 30 En
