Automatically decoding
the input audio signal
(Auto
Format Decode)
The auto format decode 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 sub woofer.
Press SOUND FIELD +/– repeatedly
until “A.F.D.(AUTO FORMAT DECODE)”
appears on the front panel display.
The auto format decode function is
activated.
