Automatically decoding
the input audio signal
(Auto
Decoding)
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 SOUND FIELD –/+ on the system
or SOUND FIELD on the remote
repeatedly until “AUTO DECO.(AUTO
DECODING)” appears on the front
panel display.
The auto format decode function is
activated.
