■ Playing Dolby Digital Surround

compatible decoder.
The display changes AUTO → Matrix6.1 → OFF each
time the EX/ES button is pressed.
AUTO: This mode automatically switches Dolby

the input source using the Dolby Digital EX
or DTS-ES compatible decoder. The rear
center speaker can be used when playing a
5.1-channel source.
OFF: Rear center speaker does not work in this
setting. (Except for when the DSP program
“6ch” is selected.)

have set “1C REAR LR” or “1D REAR CT” on the SET
MENU to NON.
• The setting becomes AUTO once this unit turns into standby

contain the signal that is necessary for this unit to switch to the
Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES compatible decoding mode. To
