Notes
• This function is unavailable when playing Super
Audio CDs and when the input stream is dts 2048
frame.
• When you play a Super Audio CD (Direct Stream
Digital), the sound field changes to “AUTO
FORMAT DIRECT AUTO” automatically.
• This system is not compatible with the DTS 96/24
decoding function. When you play the DTS 96/24
disc, the system plays it as a normal disc.
Tips
• When you want to output the TV sound or stereo
sound of a 2 channel source from the 6 or 7 speakers,
select any sound field other than “AUTO FORMAT
DIRECT AUTO” or “2CH STEREO.”
• The system memorizes the last sound field selected
for each function mode.
Whenever you select a function such as DVD or
TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to
function is automatically applied again. For example,
if you listen to DVD with HALL as the sound field,
then change to another function, and then return to
DVD, HALL will be applied again. With the tuner,
sound fields are memorized separately for all preset
stations.
• You can identify the encoding format of program
software by looking at its packaging.
– Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the
logo.
– DTS-ES encoded programs are marked with
DTS-ES.
– Dolby Surround encoded programs are labeled
with the logo.
– DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.
This function lets you select the decoding mode
for the surround back signals of the multi
channel input stream.
By decoding the surround back signal of DVD
software, etc., recorded in Dolby Digital EX,
DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 format,
etc., you can enjoy the kind of surround sound
originally intended for the film (page 93, 94).
Note
This function works only when you connect the
surround back speaker to the system (page 19) and set
[SURROUND BACK] to [YES] in the [SIZE] setting
(page 81).
