Output the 2 channel L/R signals from all speakers.
However, sound may not output from certain speakers
depending on the speaker settings.
If you connect a sub woofer
When the audio signal is 2 channel stereo or if
the source signal does not include a LFE signal,
the receiver generates a low frequency signal for
output to the sub woofer. However, the low
frequency signal is not generated for “NEO6
CINEMA” or “NEO6 MUSIC” when all
speakers are set to “LARGE”.
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.
Selecting a sound field for
movies
Press MOVIE repeatedly to select the
sound field you want.
The selected sound field appears in the display.
About DCS (Digital Cinema

technology.
DCS is the concept name of the surround
technology for home theater developed by Sony.
DCS uses the DSP (Digital Signal Processor)

characteristics of an actual cinema cutting studio
in Hollywood.
When played at home, DCS will create a
powerful theater effect that mimics the artistic
combination of sound and action as envisioned
by the movie director.
