x PLIIz (PLIIz Height)
Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIz mode decoding.
This setting can expand a source sound from a
5.1 channel to a 7.1 channel to which a vertical
equipment is applied, and gives a dimension of
presence and depth.
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.
You can only select this sound field if the
headphones are connected to the receiver.
x HP 2CH (HP (2CH))
This mode is selected automatically if you use
headphones (except “A. 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 “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.
• You cannot select PLIIx MV/MS and PLIIz
at the same time.
– PLIIx MV/MS 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 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.
– “A. DIRECT” is selected.
• “PLII MV”, “PLIIx MV”, “PLII MS”,
“PLIIx MS”, “PLIIz”, “NEO6 CIN” and
“NEO6 MUS” 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 ST.”, “PLII MV”, “PLII MS”,
“PLIIx MV”, “PLIIx MS”, “PLIIz”,
“HD-D.C.S.” or “P. AUDIO” is selected.
