Automatically decoding the input audio signal (Auto Decoding) 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. SOUND FIELD Press AUTO DEC on the receiver or SOUND FIELD on the remote repeatedly until "AUTO DECO.(AUTO DECODING)" appears on the front panel display. The auto format decode function is activated.
