Enjoying Surround Sound x NEO6 MUS (Neo:6 Music) Performs DTS Neo:6 Music mode decoding. A source recorded in 2 channel format is decoded into 7 channels. This setting is ideal for normal stereo sources such as CDs. When headphones are connected You can only select the following sound fields if the headphones are connected to the receiver. x HP 2CH (Headphones 2CH) This mode is selected automatically if you use headphones (except Analog Direct). Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing and multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channels except LFE signals. Note When headphones are connected to the S-AIR surround amplifier, the sound field is automatically set to "HP 2CH". x HP DIRECT (Headphones Direct) This mode is selected automatically if you use headphones when "A. DIRECT" is selected. Outputs the analog signals without processing by the equalizer, sound field, etc. If you connect a subwoofer This receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the subwoofer when there is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output from a subwoofer to a 2 channel signal. However, the low frequency signal is not generated for "NEO6 CIN" or "NEO6 MUS" when all speakers are set to "LARGE". In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the subwoofer's cut off frequency as high as possible. Notes on sound fields • Depending on the speaker pattern settings, some sound fields may not be available. • The sound fields for music and movie do not work in the following cases. - Signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz are being received. - Signals with more than 5.1 channel are being received (except PLIIz). • You cannot select PLIIx and PLIIz at the same time. - PLIIx is available only when the speaker pattern is set to a setting with surround back speaker(s). - PLIIz is available only when the speaker pattern is set to a setting with front high speakers. • 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 subwoofer if all the speakers are set to "LARGE" in the SPEAKER menu. However, the sound will be output from the subwoofer if the digital input signal contains LFE signals, or if the front or surround speakers are set to "SMALL", the sound field for movie is selected, or "PORTABLE" is selected. Tips • You can identify the encoding format of DVD software, etc., by looking at the logo on the package. • Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic IIz decoding are effective when multi channel signals are input. • Sound fields with DCS marks use DCS technology.
