x HP 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.
x HP Direct (HP DIRECT)
This mode is selected automatically if you

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

If you connect a subwoofer
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
“Neo:6 Cinema” or “Neo:6 Music” 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.

settings, some sound fields may not be
