You can mix the button sounds with Dolby Digital plus / Dolby TrueHD sound, while DTS-HD mixes the button sounds with DTS-HD Core sound.

Can I place a speaker near a TV or projector?
Yes, it's no problem when using a LCD TV or Plasma display. However, it may result in colour unevenness when a speaker is placed near a CRT-based TV or projector.
If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers at least 30 centimetres from the TV set. If a colour irregularity would appear, and persist, turn off the TV set once, and then turn it on again after waiting between 15 to 30 minutes.
NOTE: Make sure that no magnetic object (such as magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.

What kind of hi-resolution / lossless audio format does BDV-NV support?
The BDV-NV-series support AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, DSD (DSF, DSDIFF) and WAV.

Why do I occasionally hear audience cheering or hand-clapping when listening to the Digital Music Arena mode?
Digital music arena is a special sound mode which tries to simulate the acoustic sound characteristic of the O2 London Arena. It will analyse your music and enhance particular content (such as audience cheering) in order to let you have a richer listening experience of the O2 arena concert hall; without actually being there.

Why does it seem like I can hear a difference in sound effects whenever I play different tracks and select ClearAudio+?
