Updating of listening modes
Listening modes such as Atmos 2.0 and DSur 2.0 are added when the
rmware is updated after purchase or the rmware is switched in the product
production process. For details of rmware update, see "Additional Function
(Firmware Update)" ( p5).
In alphabetical order
AllCh Stereo
This mode is ideal for background music. Stereo sound is played through the
surround speakers as well as the front speakers, creating a stereo image.
Direct
This listening mode can be selected for all input signals. Processing that affects
sound quality is shut down, and sound closer to the original is reproduced. The
sound is reproduced with the sound eld based on the number of channels in the
input signal. For example, a 2 ch signal is output only from the front speakers.
Note that the sound adjustment is not available when this mode is selected.
Atmos
(Firmware version before supporting Atmos 2.0, etc.)
Selectable at the time of inputting Dolby Atmos audio format when surround back
speakers or height speakers are connected. This mode faithfully reproduces the
stereophonic sound design recorded in the Dolby Atmos audio format.
Unlike existing surround systems, Dolby Atmos does not rely on channels, but
rather enables the accurate placement of sound objects that have independent
motion in a 3D space with even greater clarity. Dolby Atmos is an optional
audio format for Blu-ray Discs and achieves a more stereophonic sound eld by
introducing a sound eld above the listener.
To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set the
audio output on the player to Bitstream output.
Atmos
(Firmware version supporting Atmos 2.0, etc.)
Since this mode calculates the positional data of audio recorded in Dolby Atmos
audio in real-time and outputs it from appropriate speakers, you can enjoy the
natural and stereophonic sound eld of Dolby Atmos with any speaker layout
including connection of only front speakers. Also, the Dolby Atmos sound design
can be reproduced more faithfully by connecting surround back speakers or
height speakers. You can select this mode when inputting the Dolby Atmos audio
format.

Troubleshooting
Before starting the procedure
Problems may be solved by simply turning the power on/off or disconnecting/
connecting the power cord, which is easier than working on the connection,
setting and operating procedure. Try the simple measures on both the unit and
the connected device. If the problem is that the video or audio is not output or the
HDMI linked operation does not work, disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable
may solve it. When reconnecting, be careful not to wind the HDMI cable since
if wound the HDMI cable may not t well. After reconnecting, turn off and on the
unit and the connected device.
The AV receiver contains a microPC for signal processing and control
functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external
source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that
this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least 5
seconds, and then plug it back in.
Our company is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to
unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record
important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.

The subwoofer produces no sound
If the setting of the front speakers is "Full Band", the low range elements will be output from the front speakers instead of from the subwoofer during
2 ch audio input of TV or music. To output the sound from the subwoofer, make one of the following settings.
1. Change the setting for the front speakers to a setting of crossover frequency value other than "Full Band".
The range below the specied frequency will be output from the subwoofer instead of from the front speakers. If your front speakers have a high
low-range reproduction capability, changing this setting is not recommended.
2. Change "Double Bass" to "On".
The low range elements of the front speakers will be output from both the front speakers and the subwoofer. Due to this, the bass sound may be
emphasized too much. In such a case, do not change the setting, or make the setting with the above option 1.
For the setting details, refer to "2. Speaker" - "Crossover" in the Setup menu.
If the input signals do not contain subwoofer audio elements (LFE), the subwoofer may produce no sound.

After changing the setting, switch the listening mode to that for each source, and conrm.
About DTS signals
With media that switches suddenly from DTS to PCM, PCM playback may not start immediately. In such a case, stop playback on the player side
for approx. 3 seconds or more. Then, resume playback. The playback will be performed normally.
DTS playback may not be performed normally on some CD and LD players even if the player and this unit are digitally connected. If some
processing (e.g., output level adjustment, sampling frequency conversion, or frequency characteristic conversion) has been executed for the DTS
signal being output, this unit cannot recognize it as a genuine DTS signal, and noise may occur.
While playing a DTS-compatible disc, if a pause or skip operation is performed on your player, noise may occur for a short period. This is not a
malfunction.

About HDMI
Compatible functions
HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface standard for
connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, digital tuners, and other
video components. Several separate video and audio cables have been required
to connect AV components so far. With HDMI, a single cable can transmit control
signals, digital video and digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio,
and multichannel PCM).
HDMI CEC function:
By connecting a device that complies with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
of the HDMI standard using an HDMI cable, a variety of linked operations
between devices are possible. This function enables various linking operations
with players, such as switching input selectors interlocking with a player,
adjusting the volume of this unit using the remote controller of a TV, and
automatically switching this unit to standby when the TV is turned off.
The unit is designed to link with products that comply with the CEC standard,
however, linked operation is not always guaranteed with all CEC devices.
For linked functions to work properly, do not connect CEC-compliant devices
exceeding the connectable number to the HDMI jack as shown below.
