x PLII Music
Performs Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode
decoding. This setting is ideal for normal
stereo sources such as CDs.
x PLIIx Music
Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode
decoding. This setting is ideal for normal
stereo sources such as CDs.
x PLIIz Height (PLIIz)
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 Neo:6 Music (Neo:6 MUS)
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
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.
