Notes
• 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.
• This function does not work when:
– ANALOG DIRECT is selected.
– signals with a sampling frequency of more than
48 kHz is input.
– the multi channel Linear PCM signals are
received via an HDMI IN jack.
• When one of the sound fields for music is selected,
no sound is output from the subwoofer if all the
speakers are set to "LARGE" on the SYSTEM
menu. However, the sound will be output from the
subwoofer if
– the digital input signal contains LFE signals.
– the front and surround speakers are set to
"SMALL".
– the sound field for movie is selected.
Tips
• You can identify the encoding format of DVD
