Automatically detects the type of audio signal being
input (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, or standard two
channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding if
necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was
recorded/encoded, without adding any effects.
You can use this mode as a reference.

Note
• No sound is output from the sub woofer when the 2 CHANNEL mode is selected. To listen to two channel (stereo) sources using the front
left and right speakers and a sub woofer, use the AUTO FORMAT DECODING mode.
• When you select "Micro Satellite Speaker", internal sound processor will automatically redirect bass sound to subwoofer. If you want to
listen to two channel (stereo) sources under this setting, we recommend that you choose AUTO FORMAT DECODING mode so that you
can take advantage of your subwoofer to get back correct bass signal.
