When headphones are
connected
You can only select this sound field if the
headphones are connected to the receiver.
x HP 2CH (Headphones 2CH)
This mode is selected automatically if you use
headphones (except Analog Direct). Standard
2 channel stereo sources completely bypass
the sound field processing and multi channel
surround formats are downmixed to 2
channels except LFE signals.
x HP DIR (Headphones Direct)
Outputs the analog signals without processing
by the equalizer, sound field, etc.
If you connect a subwoofer
This receiver will generate a low frequency
signal for output to the subwoofer when there
is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound
effect output from a subwoofer to a 2 channel
signal. However, the low frequency signal is
not generated for "NEO6 CIN" or "NEO6
MUS" when all speakers are set to "LARGE".
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby
Digital bass redirection circuitry, we
recommend setting the subwoofer's cut off
frequency as high as possible.
Notes on sound fields
• Depends on the speaker pattern settings, some
sound fields may not be available.
• The effects provided by the virtual speakers may
cause increased noise in the playback signal.
• When listening with sound fields that employ the
virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any
sound coming directly from the surround speakers.
• The sound fields for music and movie do not work
in the following cases:
– Analog Direct is selected.
– signals with a sampling frequency of more than
48 kHz is input.
• When multi channel Linear PCM signals are
received via an HDMI IN jack, "A.F.D. AUTO"
will be selected automatically.
