to create spacious 3D sound including audio from up above without connecting
height speakers.
This mode can be selected in any speaker layout such as front speakers-only
connection. You can enjoy your favorite movies or TV programs with a more
immersive audio experience.
• This mode cannot be selected when Dolby signal is input or height speakers
are connected.
• This mode cannot be selected when "Speaker Virtualizer" ( p72) is set to
"O" (Default: On).
DTS:X
This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the DTS:X audio
format.
The DTS:X audio format is a combination of the mixing method based on
traditional channel based formats (5.1 ch and 7.1 ch) and object based dynamic
audio mixing, and it is characterized by the precise positioning of sounds and the
ability to express sound movement.
• To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set
audio output on the player to Bitstream output.

Troubleshooting
Before starting the procedure
Problems may be solved by simply turning the power on/o 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 o 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.
