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.
Outputting 2 channel sources
like CDs by 5.1channel
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.
Note
• When the input signal is multi channel source, Dolby
Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE/MUSIC
are canceled and the multi channel source is output
directly.
