Automatic outputting of the original soundxAUTO FORMAT DIRECT STANDARD

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.

Outputting the sound from multiple speakersxAUTO FORMAT DIRECT MULTI

This mode lets you enjoy audio playback of all types of discs from multiple speakers.

Note

•The sound is not output from multiple speakers depending on the source.

•Depending on the disc or source, the beginning of the sound may be cut off as the optimum mode is automatically selected. To avoid cutting the sound, select “A.F.D. STD.”

Outputting 2 channel sources like CDs by 5.1channelxDolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC

Dolby Pro Logic II produces five full-bandwidth output channels from 2 channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

Note

•When the input signal is multi channel source, Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC are canceled and the multi channel source is output directly.

•When the bilingual broadcast sound is input, Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC are not effective.
