programmed sound fields. They bring the 
exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters 
into your home.

Press SOUND FIELD repeatedly until the sound 
field you want appears in the front panel display.

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.

x AUTO FORMAT DIRECT MULTI

This mode lets you enjoy audio playback of all 
types of discs from multiple speakers.

x Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic produces five output channels 
from 2 channel sources. This mode performs Pro 
Logic decoding to the input signal and output to 
front, center, and surround speakers. 
Meanwhile, the surround channel becomes 
monaural.

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.
