( ): Possible only when surround back channel is not set to “None”.(Refer to “When selecting the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” on page 44.)
BYPASS mode: Audio signals bypass signal processing circuits for surround sound and are played in stereo mode.
If Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Virtual Speaker or Dolby Headphone mode is combined with BYPASS mode, you will enjoy
its original surround effects, not affected by other surround modes.
Notes:
• When the selected decoding mode is not matched to the input signal format, the indicator of the signal being input flickers,
meaning the required process cannot be performed and no sound is heard. Therefore, be sure to select the required
decoding mode and the available surround mode according to the input signal format.
• When the pure audio function is activated, the surround mode cannot be selected.
• When 96 kHz PCM signals are input, only the stereo mode can be selected.
• When DTS 96/24 or MPEG signals are input, the Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone
modes cannot be selected.
When the Dolby surround mode is selected

select the original surround mode to be combined.(However, in case of “PL IIx” mode, you cannot select “PL II”mode.)
• When “PL IIx” mode is selected while playing in “PL II” mode, it will be automatically changed to “DOLBY DIGITAL”
or “BYPASS” mode depending on the signal format which is being input.
When the DYNAMIC RANGE is selected
• This function compresses the dynamic range of previously specified parts of the Dolby Digital sound track (with extremely
high volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the specified and non-specified parts.
This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track when watching movies at night at low levels.
• The compression rate changes as follows :
Notes :
• Only while the digital signals from the Dolby Digital program source are being input, the dynamic range function can be
activated.
• In some Dolby Digital software, this function may not be available.
