You can take advantage of surround sound
simply by selecting one of system’s pre-
programmed sound fields. They bring the
exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters
into your home.
To select sound field, press AUTO FORMAT
DIRECT or MODE on the remote repeatedly
until the sound field you want appears in the
front panel display.
Automatic decoding of the
audio input signal (AUTO
FORMAT DIRECT AUTO)
The auto decoding function automatically
detects the type of audio signal being input
(Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel
stereo) and performs the proper decoding if
necessary. This mode presents the sound as it
was recorded/encoded, without adding any
effects (e.g. reverberation).
However, if there are no low frequency signals
(Dolby Digital LFE, etc.), it will generate a low
frequency signal for output to the subwoofer.
Press AUTO FORMAT DIRECT on the
remote repeatedly until “A.F.D. AUTO”
appears in the front panel display.
Using only the front speaker
and subwoofer (2 CHANNEL
STEREO)
This mode outputs the sound from the front left
and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two
channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the
sound field processing. Multi channel surround
formats are downmixed to two channels.
This allows you to play any source using only
the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
Press MODE on the remote repeatedly until
“2CH ST” appears in the front panel
display.
