Types of enhanced surround mode
* Depends on the speaker pattern setting, some enhanced surround mode may not be available.
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
• This function does not work in the following cases.
– PCM signals with a sampling frequency of more
than 96 kHz are being received.
– DTS 96/24 signals are being received.
– DTS-HD signals with a sampling frequency of
more than 48 kHz are being received.
– Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling frequency
of more than 48 kHz are being received.
• The beginning of the sound stream may be dropped
out when Neural-THX processing is turned on or off.
Tips
• You can identify the encoding format of DVD
software, etc., by looking at the logo on the
package.
• Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding is effective, when a
multi-channel signal is input.
You can take advantage of surround sound
simply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre-
programmed sound fields. They bring the
exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters
and concert halls into your home.
Press MOVIE repeatedly to select a
sound field for movies or press
MUSIC repeatedly to select a sound
field for music.
