You can only select the following sound fields
if the headphones are connected to the
receiver.
x HP 2CH (Headphones 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 DIR (Headphones Direct)
This mode is selected automatically if you use
headphones and 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
• Depends on the speaker pattern settings,
some sound fields may not be available.
• 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” also do not work when the
speaker pattern is set to 2/0 or 2/0.1.
• You cannot select “PLIIX” and “PLIIZ” at
the same time.
– “PLIIX” 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.
• 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 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”, “HD-D.C.S.”
or “P. AUDIO” is selected.
