Playback without sound field effects
(straight decoding mode)
By using the straight decoding mode, sounds from each channel
included in input sources are output from each speaker without
sound field processing. When 2-channel sources such as CD are
selected, they are played back by stereo sound through the front
left and right speakers. When multi-channel playback sources are
selected, they are played back without applying sound field effects,
using an appropriate decoder.
