Automatic decoding of
the audio input signal
(AUTO FORMAT DIRECT AUTO)
The Auto Format Direct Auto 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 sub woofer.
Enjoying Surround Sound
You can take advantage of surround sound
simply by selecting one of the system’s pre-
programmed sound fields. They bring the
exciting and powerful sound of movie
theaters and concert halls into your home.
To select the sound field, press SOUND
FIELD +/– repeatedly until the sound field
you want appears on the front panel display.
