Notes
� Some discs do not have rear sound. In this case, you cannot get the 3D surround effect. � When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a moment. � When the playing signal does not contain the surround component, the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select �VES A� or �VES B�. � The sound does not come from the rear speakers when you set �VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND� to �VES A� or �VES B� in the Control Menu display even if you have connected rear speakers. � Set the front speakers to form an equilateral triangle including the listening position, or the effects may be difficult to hear even if you select �VES A� or �VES B�. � In case that the player outputs the signal from DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL, the surround effect will be heard only when you set �DOLBY DIGITAL� to �D-PCM�. � When you play a sound track with a 96 kHz sampling frequency, be sure to select �OFF�, or the output signals will be converted to 48 kHz (sampling frequency). (Except when the player outputs the audio signal from DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL.) � When you connect a center speaker and a subwoofer, you can also hear the sound from the center speaker and the subwoofer. When you select �VES A� or �VES B,� the player does not output the sound from the center speaker. � When you select monaural sound (1/L or 2/R) while playing CD or VIDEO CD, �VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND� mode switched off.
