Speaker System
• To get maximum enjoyment from the
sound-field functions of this component,
the use of a 5.1ch speaker system is
recommended. To demonstrate optimum
audio response, modify the adjust
mode’s default settings for “SP-SEL,”
“FILTER,” “SP-GAIN,” and “DELAY” in
accordance with the composition of your
speaker system (see P.8-10).
Note that in order to play 2-ch sound
sources (music CDs, etc.) in 5.1ch mode,
one of the Dolby Pro Logic II modes must
be selected, or DSF must be set to ON
(see P. 7).

DVD Video
• When playing a DTS-compatible DVD video or music CD, some noise may be heard for the
short interval required for this unit to detect the DTS signal.
• During playback of Dolby digital or DTS source, some sound interruption may be heard if the
search/skip/pause modes are operated before playback.
■
Digital Inputs (When Optical Digital Cable is Connected)
• When optical digital cable is used to connect components like a DVD changer, the digital
signals are given precedence in processing.
• When Dolby Digital (other than 2ch), DTS, Linear PCM (96 kHz) or other digital signals are
input, the Dolby Pro Logic II mode can be selected, but the mode will not perform ordinary
audio processing.
• When MP3 (32 kHz) and Linear PCM (96 kHz) digital signals are input, the Parametric
Equalizer (P.EQ) function can be operated, but it will not perform audio processing.
