You can select the following sound fields only.

channel.

Tips
• The receiver lets you apply the last selected sound
field to a program source whenever it is selected
(Sound Field Link). For example, if you listen to
CD with “JAZZ” as the sound field, change to a
different program source, then return to CD,
“JAZZ” will be applied again.
• You can identify the encoding format of DVD
software, etc. by looking at the logo on the
package.
– : Dolby Digital discs
– : Dolby Surround encoded
programs

• When sound signals with a sampling frequency of
96 kHz are input, the sound signals are output in
stereo automatically, and the sound field is turned
off.
