Enjoying Surround Sound
Automatically detects the type of audio signal being
input (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, 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.
Outputs the sound from the front left and right
speakers only. Standard two channel (stereo) sources
completely bypass the sound field processing. Multi
channel surround formats are downmixed to two
channels.
The analog input signal is not digitally processed. Only
volume control and the balance between the front left
and front right speakers can be adjusted.
