Switching the mode of the DTS decoder (Neural:X)
You can switch the DTS decoder to “Direct Mode” (Neural:X Off) or “Non-Direct Mode”
(Neural:X On).
When in “Direct Mode” (Neural:X Off), the audio is extracted and reproduced as closely as
possible to what the content creator intended. When in “Non-Direct Mode” (Neural:X On), the
audio is extracted and adapted to fit as closely as possible to the speaker layout of the playback
system (regardless of the source configuration). This function only works when the DTS stream
is input.
Note
You cannot set this function to [Off] when [Neural:X] is selected as a sound field.
You cannot set this function to [On] in the following cases:
