Sony 3-284-083-41(1) User Manual

• 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.

• When one of the sound fields for music is selected, 

no sound is output from the sub woofer if all the 
speakers are set to “LARGE” on the SYSTEM 
menu. However, the sound will be output from the 
sub woofer if
– the digital input signal contains LFE signals.
– the front and surround speakers are set to 

“SMALL”.

– the sound field for movie is selected.
– the portable audio is selected.

• You can identity the encoding format of DVD 

software, etc., by looking at the logo on the 
package.

• Sound fields with DCS  mark use DCS 

technology. See “Glossary” (page 61).

Press 2CH to select “2CH ST.” or press A.F.D. 
repeatedly to select “A.F.D. AUTO”.

 

In this mode, the receiver outputs the sound 
from the front left/right speakers only. There is 
no sound from the sub woofer. 
Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely 
bypass the sound field processing and multi 
channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 
channel.

No sound is output from the sub woofer in the 2CH 
STEREO mode. To listen to 2 channel stereo 
sources using the front left/right speakers and a sub 
woofer, select “A.F.D. AUTO” (page 45).
