When headphones are connected You can only select this sound field if the headphones are connected to the receiver. x HP 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. x HP Direct (HP DIRECT) This mode is selected automatically if you use headphones when "Analog 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 "Neo:6 Cinema" or "Neo:6 Music" 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. • You cannot select PLIIx Movie/Music and PLIIz Height at the same time. - PLIIx Movie/Music is available only when the speaker pattern is set to a setting with surround back speaker(s). - PLIIz Height is available only when the speaker pattern is set to a setting with front high speakers. • The sound fields for music and movie do not work in the following cases. - DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio or Dolby TrueHD with sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz are being received. - "Analog Direct" is selected. • "PLII Movie", "PLIIx Movie", "PLII Music", "PLIIx Music", "PLIIz Height", "Neo:6 Cinema", and "Neo:6 Music" do not work when the speaker pattern is set to 2/0 or 2/0.1. • 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 Settings menu. However, the sound will be output from the subwoofer if - the digital input signal contains LFE signals. - the front or surround speakers are set to "Small". - "Multi Stereo", "PLII Movie", "PLII Music", "PLIIx Movie", "PLIIx Music", "PLIIz Height", "HD-D.C.S." or "Portable Audio" is selected.
