ES DECODING AUTO, ON, OFF

Controls DTS-ES decoding, which extracts a rear channel from

5.1-channel DTS, 5.1-channel matrix-encoded DTS-ES, and

6.1-channel discrete-encoded DTS-ES sources. When ON is selected, DTS-ES decoding is activated for all DTS-ES sources. When OFF is selected, DTS-ES decoding is deactivated for all DTS-ES sources.

When AUTO is selected, DTS-ES decoding is activated when a

5.1-channel matrix-encoded or a 6.1-channel discrete-encoded DTS-ES source is detected. DTS-ES decoding is deactivated when a 5.1-channel DTS source is detected.

DTS-ES listening modes are available when DTS-ES decoding is engaged. DTS listening modes are available when DTS-ES decoding is not engaged. Refer to the DTS-ES Decoding section that begins on page 5-22 for more information.

Note the following:

•DTS-ES decoding cannot be engaged unless both side and rear speakers are present.

•When the Shift command bank is activated, pressing the remote control DTS button while a DTS-ES source is present adjusts the ES DECODING parameter, cycling through the AUTO, ON, and OFF settings.

•The DTS-ES STATUS menu includes an SB level meter when the ES DECODING parameter is set to ON and a 5.1-channel DTS

source is present or when the ES DECODING parameter is set to AUTO and a 5.1-channel matrix-encoded or 6.1-channel discrete-encoded DTS-ES source is present.

This parameter is available in all DTS modes.

EX DECODING AUTO, ON, OFF

Controls Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding, which extracts a rear channel from 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources recorded with or without Dolby Digital Surround EX. When ON, Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding is engaged for all 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources. When OFF, Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding is disen- gaged for all 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources.

When AUTO is selected, Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding is engaged when a flagged 5.1-channel Dolby Digital source recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX encoding is detected. Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding is not engaged when a non- flagged 5.1-channel Dolby Digital source recorded with or without Dolby Digital Surround EX encoding is detected.

Note:

The MC-12 cannot automatically detect Dolby Digital Surround EX encoding in non-flagged 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources. A non-flagged input source does not identify Dolby Digital Surround EX encoding in the input signal.

The Dolby DIGITAL EX listening mode is available when Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding is engaged. The Dolby DIGITAL listening mode is available when Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding is not engaged. Refer to the Dolby DIGITAL EX & Dolby DIGITAL listening mode descriptions that begin on page 5-19 for more information.
