Set the input mode to AUTO (see page 31) to enable this unit to automatically switch to the appropriate digital decoder according to the input signal. Notes • This unit's DSP sound field programs are recreations of real-world acoustic environments made from precise measurements taken in the actual hall, etc. Thus you may notice variations in the strength of the reflections coming from the front, back, left and right. • Feel free to choose a sound field program based on your listening preference, and not purely on the name of the program itself. For movie/video sources You can select from the following sound fields when playing movie or video sources. The sound fields marked "MULTI" can be used with multi-channel sources, like DVD, digital TV, etc. Those marked "2-CH" can be used with 2-channel (stereo) sources like TV programs, video tapes, etc. Program STEREO: 2ch Stereo MUSIC VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT: Game TV THEATER: Mono Movie TV THEATER: Variety/Sports MOVIE THEATER: Spectacle MOVIE THEATER: Sci-Fi MOVIE THEATER: Adventure MOVIE THEATER: General Features Downmixes multi-channel sources to 2 channels (left and right) or plays back 2-channel sources as is.
