HP. THEATER (Headphone Theater)
When you connect your headphone to the
PHONES jack of the receiver, the
HEADPHONE THEATER mode allows you
to experience a theater like environment
while listening through a pair of
headphones. This mode is very effective
with 5.1 ch discrete signal sources like
Dolby Digital and DTS. Selecting any
Sound Field selections (except AUTO
DECODING or 2 CH STEREO) enables the
mode.
To turn the surround effect off
Press AUTO DEC or 2CH ST on the
receiver or SOUND FIELD on the remote
repeatedly until “AUTO DECO.” or “2CH
STEREO” appears on the front panel
display.
z The receiver memorises the last sound
field selected for each function mode (Sound
Field Link)
Whenever you select a function such as DVD or
TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to the
function is automatically applied again. For example,
if you listen to DVD with HALL as the sound field,
then change to another function, and then return to
DVD, HALL will be applied again. With the tuner,
sound fields are memorized separately for all preset
stations.
z You can identify the encoding format of
program software by looking at its packaging
– Dolby Digital discs are labelled with the logo.
– Dolby Surround encoded programs are labelled
with the logo.
– DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.
Note
When you play sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling
frequency, the output signals will be converted to
48 kHz (sampling frequency).
