• If a Dolby Digital signal having more channels than the maximum
number of playback channels available using the receiver’s current
settings is input, the
DOWNMIX indicator on the front panel lights up
and downmixing is performed to match the number of available
channels.
Notes
• Depending on the type of the signal or speaker setting, some listening
modes cannot be selected.
• When playback is started, the sound may be cut or interrupted before
the input source is confirmed as Dolby Digital.
• To enjoy Dolby Digital surround (as well as all the other listening
modes) from a single component, be sure to use a Dolby Digital
compatible source component. Connect the Dolby Digital compatible
source component's Dolby Digital format digital audio signal to one of
the DIGITAL INPUT jacks on the back of the receiver. Connect the
normal audio signal correctly to the respective component's AUDIO
jacks.
