Notes

•This function is unavailable when playing Super Audio CDs and when the input stream is dts 2048 frame.

•When you play a Super Audio CD (Direct Stream Digital), the sound field changes to “AUTO FORMAT DIRECT AUTO” automatically.

•This system is not compatible with the DTS 96/24 decoding function. When you play the DTS 96/24 disc, the system plays it as a normal disc.

Tips

•When you want to output the TV sound or stereo sound of a 2 channel source from the 6 or 7 speakers, select any sound field other than “AUTO FORMAT DIRECT AUTO” or “2CH STEREO.”

•The system memorizes the last sound field selected for each function mode.

Whenever you select a function such as DVD or TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to function is automatically applied again. For example, if you listen to DVD with HALL as the sound field, then change to another function, and then return to DVD, HALL will be applied again. With the tuner, sound fields are memorized separately for all preset stations.

•You can identify the encoding format of program software by looking at its packaging.

Selecting the Surround Back Decoding Mode

This function lets you select the decoding mode for the surround back signals of the multi channel input stream.

By decoding the surround back signal of DVD software, etc., recorded in Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 format, etc., you can enjoy the kind of surround sound originally intended for the film (page 94, 95).
