Sound field for Headphone* Sound field Effect Headphone (2ch) This mode is selected automatically if you use headphones when "2ch Stereo" mode or A.F.D. mode is selected. Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing and multi-channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channels. Headphone Theater DCS This mode is selected automatically when you use headphones when sound field is selected for movie/music. It allows you to experience a theater-like environment while listening through a pair of headphones. Headphone (Direct) Outputs the analog signals without processing by the tone, sound field, etc. Headphone (Multi) This mode is selected automatically if you use headphones when the multi-channel input is selected. Outputs the front analog signals from the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT jacks. * You can select this sound field mode if the headphones are connected to the receiver. Notes • The sound fields for music and movies do not work in the following cases. - The multi-channel input is selected. - DTS-HD signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz are being received. - Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling frequency of more than 96 kHz are being received. • If you set up the sound field during DTS 96/24 signal reception, the signal will be played back only at 48 kHz. • If you set up the sound field effect while the receiver is receiving signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz, the signals will always be played back at either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. • The effects provided by the virtual speakers may cause increased noise in the playback signal. • When listening with sound fields that employ the virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surround speakers. • When one of the sound fields for music is selected, no sound is output from the sub woofer if all the speakers are set to "LARGE" in the Speaker settings menu. However, the sound will be output from the sub woofer if the digital input signal contains L.F.E. signals, or if the front or surround speakers are set to "SMALL," the sound field for movie is selected, or "Portable Audio" is selected. Tips • Sound fields with DCSmarks use DCS technology. See "Glossary" (page 132). • When the sound field's DCSmark is selected, the Digital Cinema Sound lamp lights up on the display. To turn off the surround effect for MOVIE/MUSIC Select "2ch Stereo" or "A.F.D. Auto" in the Surround settings menu. 66GB
