Notes
• The listening mode is set to "Stereo" when the PCM sound whose
sampling frequency is higher than 48kHz is played. Such high-
resolution sounds are reproduced from sources such as DVD
video.
• When the input source is monaural, such as AM radio ro TV, if you
set the surround mode to PLII Movie or PLII Music, sound
reproduction is concentrated around the center speaker. Surround
mode is especially suited for enjoyment of monaural sound.
Checking the Sound System of the
Playing Source
The DVD Changer Receiver will automatically detect the
sound system when DOLBY DIGITAL Surround (
DTS Surround ( ), or PCM/MP3 DIGITAL (2 channel digital
stereo) is played back. The corresponding sound system
