• 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 speakers,
select any sound field other than “Auto Format Direct
Auto” or “2Channel 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.

software by looking at its packaging.
