When selecting the DECODING MODE
•Depending on the input digital signal format, you can select the desired decoding mode.
Auto : Select this for automatic detection of a digital input signal format.
The input digital signal format (DTS, Dolby Digital, MPEG or PCM(2 channel stereo), etc.) used by the selected digital input source is detected automatically to perform the necessary decoding process for optimum surround modes.
Dolby Digital : Select this for Dolby Digital signal processing. The decoding process is preformed only when Dolby Digital signals are input.
DTS : Select this for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is performed only when DTS signals are input.
MPEG : Select this for MPEG signal processing. The decoding process is performed only when MPEG signals are input.
PCM : Select this for PCM signal processing. The decoding process is performed only when PCM signals are input.
