Automatic outputting of the
original sound
x AUTO 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 speakers
x AUTO 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 5.1channel
x Dolby 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.
