Sony STR-DH710 Manual Do Utilizador

You can only select this sound field if the 
headphones are connected to the receiver.

x HP 2CH (Headphones 2CH)

This mode is selected automatically if you use 
headphones (except Analog Direct). Standard 
2 channel stereo sources completely bypass 
the sound field processing and multi channel 
surround formats are downmixed to 2 
channels except LFE signals.

When headphones are connected to the S-AIR 
surround amplifier, the sound field is automatically 
set to “HP 2CH”.

x HP DIR (Headphones Direct)

Outputs the analog signals without processing 
by the equalizer, sound field, etc.

This receiver will generate a low frequency 
signal for output to the subwoofer when there 
is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound 
effect output from a subwoofer to a 2 channel 
signal. However, the low frequency signal is 
not generated for “NEO6 CIN” or “NEO6 
MUS” when all speakers are set to “LARGE”. 
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby 
Digital bass redirection circuitry, we 
recommend setting the subwoofer’s cut off 
frequency as high as possible.

• Depends on the speaker pattern settings, 

some sound fields may not be available.

• The sound fields for music and movie do not 

work in the following cases.

– signals with a sampling frequency of more 

than 48 kHz are being received.

– signals with more than 5.1 channel are 

being received (except PLIIz).

• You cannot select PLII, PLIIx and PLIIz at 

the same time.
– PLIIx is available only when the speaker 

pattern is set to a setting with surround 
back speaker(s).

– PLIIz is available only when the speaker 

pattern is set to a setting with front high 
speakers.

• 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.

• 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” in the SPEAKER menu. 
However, the sound will be output from the 
subwoofer if the digital input signal contains 
LFE signals, or if the front or surround 
speakers are set to “SMALL”, the sound 
field for movie is selected, or “PORTABLE” 
is selected.

• You can identify the encoding format of DVD 

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

• Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic IIz 

decoding are effective when multi channel signals 
are input.

• Sound fields with DCS

 

 

marks use DCS 

technology. For details on Digital Cinema Sound 
(DCS), see “Glossary” (page 85).
