When to try changing the decode mode

When the decode mode is set to the default AUTO/PCM setting and a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital Surround or DTS Digital Surround is played, the internal decoder will be automatically selected before audio playback begins. Depending on the disc, this may result in a brief loss of audio after playback starts. This is due to lost audio signals that were inputted during internal decoder selection.

In these instances, lost audio can be prevented by manually selecting the decode mode appropriate for the disc you wish to play.

However, please note that when the decode mode is set to other than AUTO/PCM, you will be unable to playback audio from discs recorded in a mode other than the set mode.

After changing the decode mode and playing back a disc, return the decode mode to “AUTO/PCM”.

Changing the playback source will automatically set the decode mode to “AUTO/PCM”.
