Notes
• The effects provided by the virtual speakers may cause increased noise in the play back signal.
• When listening to sound fields that employ the virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the
surround speakers.
Use the buttons on the front panel to operate the following modes
A.F.D.
AUTO FORMAT DECODING
(Press the A.F.D. button)
2CH ST.
2 CHANNEL
(Press the 2CH button)
Note
• No sound is output from the sub woofer when the 2 CHANNEL mode is selected. To listen to two channel (stereo) sources using the front
left and right speakers and a sub woofer, use the AUTO FORMAT DECODING mode.
• When you select "Micro Satellite Speaker", internal sound processor will automatically redirect bass sound to subwoofer. If you want to
listen to two channel (stereo) sources under this setting, we recommend that you choose AUTO FORMAT DECODING mode so that you
can take advantage of your subwoofer to get back correct bass signal.
