Automatically Decoding
the Input Audio Signal
(Auto Decoding)
 
 
 
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.
Press SOUND FIELD +/– on the remote
repeatedly until “S.F  1” appears in the
front panel display.
If the system mode is set to anything except
“VIDEO1” or “VIDEO2,” each time you
press SOUND FIELD +/–, the sound field
name momentarily appears on the TV
screen.
The auto format decode function is
activated.
To check the sound field
Press DISPLAY.
The sound field appears on the TV screen,
and the sound field number appears in the
front panel display. The sound field on the
TV screen turns off in a few seconds.
If the system mode is set to “VIDEO1” or
“VIDEO2,” the TV screen momentarily
changes.
Enjoying Surround Sound
 
 
 
You can take advantage of surround sound
simply by selecting one of the system’s pre-
programmed sound fields. They bring the
exciting and powerful sound of movie
theaters and concert halls into your home.
To select the sound field, press SOUND
FIELD +/– on the remote repeatedly until
the number for the sound field you want
appears in the front panel display.
If the system mode is set to anything except
“VIDEO1” or “VIDEO2,” each time you
press SOUND FIELD +/–, the sound field
name momentarily appears on the TV
screen.
