When  a  digital  source  is  playing,  the  receiver  will  automatically   

recognise  source  format  to  enter  to  the  proper  surround  mode 

and  light  output  speaker  indicator  on  the  left-hand  side  of  the 

display(VFD).

It  is  important  to  know,however  that  not  all  DTS  or  Dolby  Digital

sources  are  encoded  with  the  full  complement  of  five  channels 

plus  LFE*.Output  speaker  indicator  show  how  many  and  which 

speaker  you  have  enabled  and  the  letters  inside  output  speaker 

indicator  show  which  channel  is  present  in  the  source  informat-

ion.

*LFE  stands  for  Low  Frequency  Effect.  The  indication"LFE" 

appears    if  the  digital  source  contains  LFE  information.  In  this 

case,  the  bass  signal  will  be  delivered  to  the  subwoofer, 

offering  more  dynamic  deep  bass  sound  effects. 

Automatic  Audio  Format  Recognition

This  unit  detects  digital  signal  sources  and  selects  the  corres-

ponding  playback  mode  automatically,  but  can  be  manually 

changed  to  a  different  playback  mode.The  new  mode  will  rem-

ain  in  effect  until  a  differently  formatted  source  is  played.  For 

instance,  if  you  play  a  DTS  -  encoded  DVD,  DTS  decoding 

mode  is  automatically  selected.  If  you  manually  change  to  DTS 

STEREO  mode,  the  unit  will  remain  in  DTS  STEREO  mode 

until  you  change  the  mode  manually  or  play  a  differently  form-

atted  source,  i.e.  Dolby  Digital..

Use  the  built-in  SLEEP  timer  to  automatically  turn  this  unit  into 

the  standby  mode  after  the  time  you  set  elapses.  The  SLEEP 

timer  is  useful  when  you  plan  to  fall  asleep  while  this  unit  is 

playing  back  or  recording  a  source.
