A-ST (auto stereo) mode
• 2-channel sources are played in 2-channel stereo.
When this mode is selected in the auto decode surround
mode, DVD, BS digital and other multi-channel sources are
played as such with multiple channels, while CDs and other
2-channel sources are automatically played in stereo.
✽ For 2-channel Dolby Digital sources decoded in Dolby
Surround, identification signals are used to automatically
process the signals in Dolby Pro Logic II and play them in the
multi-channel mode.
PLII (Pro Logic II) mode
• Even 2-channel sources undergo Dolby Pro Logic II
processing and are played in the multi-channel mode.
When this mode is selected in the auto decode surround
mode, DVD, BS digital and other multi-channel sources are
played as such with multiple channels, and CDs and other 2-
channel sources also automatically undergo Dolby Pro Logic
II processing and are played in the multi-channel mode.
✽ In the Dolby Pro Logic II mode, “CINEMA”, “MUSIC” or
“DOLBY PL” (Pro Logic) can be selected and set. (See page
42 for setting instructions.)
NOTE:
• The 2-channel decode mode cannot be set when Dolby Digital
5.1-channel signals or DTS signals are being input.
• The 2-channel decode mode is stored separately for the DVD,
TV/DBS and V.AUX modes. (In the Dolby Pro Logic II mode, the
“CINEMA”, “MUSIC” or “DOLBY PL” (Pro Logic) mode is also
stored in the memory.)
