Selecting a Sound Field
You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one
of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the
programme you want to listen to.
1
Press SOUND FIELD ON/OFF to turn on the
sound field.
The current sound field is indicated in the
display.
2 Press SOUND FIELD MODE +/– repeatedly to
select the sound field you want.
See the table on this page for information on each
sound field.
The receiver memorizes the last sound field selected
for each programme source (Sound Field Link)
Whenever you select a programme source, the sound
field that was last applied is automatically applied
again. For example, if you listen to CD with HALL as
the sound field, change to different programme source,
then return to CD, HALL will be applied again. In the
case of the tuner, the sound fields for AM or FM band
and for all the preset stations are memorized separately.
You can identify Dolby Surround-encoded software
by looking at the packaging
Some videos and laser discs, however, may be encoded
with Dolby Surround sound even if it’s not indicated on
the package.
Note
When using sound fields, do not select both speakers (A+B)
with the SPEAKERS selector.
