Other 3D Phonic Virtual Surround
Sound System Information
• With a Video CD disc, if the AUDIO set-
ting is set to L or R, you cannot activate the
3D Phonic function (i.e. the 3D Phonic mode
is fixed to OFF). Conversely, when the 3D
Phonic function is active, changing the
AUDIO setting to L or R from STEREO can-
cels the 3D Phonic function.
• The 3D phonic function works correctly when
playing back discs recorded in the Dolby
Surround or Dolby Digital 5.1-CH format.
It also works when playing back discs other
than those above, but does not provide the
correct effect.
• The 3D Phonic function does not affect the
DTS or Dolby Digital bitstream signal from
the DIGITAL OUT jack.
• The sound effect will not be set or operate,
even if 3D PHONIC is pressed, for the sound
of DVD VIDEO discs recorded in Linear
PCM.
• When you set the 3D PHONIC function to
on, the DOWN MIX and COMPRESSION
settings in the AUDIO page of the prefer-
ence display are disabled.
