Automatically decodingthe input audio signal(AUTO DECODING)
In this mode, the receiver automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, DTS, standard 2 channel stereo, etc) and performs the proper decoding if necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/encoded, without adding any surround effects.
If you connect an active sub woofer
When the audio signal is 2 channel stereo or if the source signal does not include a LFE signal, the receiver generates a low frequency signal for output to the sub woofer.
Press AUTO DEC.
“AUTO DEC” appears in the display and the receiver switches to the AUTO DECODING mode.
(2CH STEREO)
In this mode, the receiver outputs the sound from the front L/R speakers only. Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing and multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channel. There is no sound from the sub woofer.
Press 2CH ST.
“2CH ST.” appears in the display and the receiver switches to the 2CH STEREO mode.
Note
No sound is output from the sub woofer in the
2CH STEREO mode. To listen to the 2 channel stereo sources using the front L/R speakers and a sub woofer, set to the AUTO DECODING mode.
