Automatically decoding the input audio signal (Auto

Format Decode)

The auto format decode 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.

About DCS (Digital Cinema Sound)

In the collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony measured the sound environment of their studios and integrated the data of the measurement and Sony’s own DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology to develop “Digital Cinema Sound”. “Digital Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theater an ideal movie theater sound environment based on the preference of movie director.
