Sound Adjustments Enjoying Surround Sound You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of system's preprogrammed sound fields. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters into your home. To select sound field, press AUTO FORMAT DIRECT or MODE on the remote repeatedly until the sound field you want appears in the front panel display. Tip When you want to output the TV sound or stereo sound of a 2 channel source from the 6 speakers of the system, select a sound field other than "AUTO FORMAT DIRECT AUTO" or "2 CHANNEL STEREO". Automatic decoding of the audio input signal (AUTO FORMAT DIRECT AUTO) 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. AUTO FORMAT DIRECT With cover opened.
