HEADPHONE THEATER*
When you connect your headphone to the
PHONES jack of the system, the
HEADPHONE THEATER mode allows you
to experience a theatre like environment
while listening through a pair of
headphones. This mode is very effective
with 5.1 ch discreet signal sources such as
Dolby Digital and DTS. Selecting any
Sound Field selections (except AUTO
FORMAT DECODING or 2CH STEREO)
enables the mode.
* “VIRTUAL” sound field: Sound field with
virtual speakers.
Notes
• The effects provided by the virtual speakers may
cause increased noise in the playback signal.
• When listening to sound fields that employ the
virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any
sound coming directly from the rear speakers.
• If you select AUTO FORMAT DECODING or
2CH STEREO when the headphones are
connected,
2 channel stereo is output. If any other sound field
is selected, it is automatically changed to the
HEADPHONE THEATER mode.
