DECODE MODE indicators
The processor automatically identifies the format of the input audio signal and the
corresponding indicator lights up. Switch the audio between Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG-2
AAC, etc., on the connected equipment (DVD device, digital satellite/TV receiver, etc.).
• DOLBY DIGITAL: Input signal recorded in the DOLBY DIGITAL format.
• DOLBY PRO LOGIC II: Analogue input signal, digital input PCM signal, or Dolby
Digital 2-channel signal processed by DOLBY PRO LOGIC II.
(If the sound field is set to "OFF," it is not processed by DOLBY PRO LOGIC II.)
• DTS: Input signal recorded in the DTS format.
• MPEG-2 AAC: Input signal recorded in the MPEG-2 AAC format.
Note
If the equipment connected to the DIGITAL IN jack is not playing back (fast forwarding,
rewinding, etc.), the DECODE MODE indicators may not light up correctly.
