Tip
When you want to output the TV sound or stereo sound of a 2 channel source from the 6 speakers of the system, select a sound field other than “AUTO FORMAT DIRECT AUTO” or “2 CHANNEL STEREO.”
The auto decoding 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 subwoofer.
