The AV32R provides a wealth of decoding and processing (surround) modes for
analog and digital sources.

Sound is recorded in a variety of encoded formats and on many different
source materials, with the recording in either analog or digital form.
Analog recordings do not contain information about their encoding
formats, so the desired decoding mode, such as Dolby Pro Logic, will
need to be selected manually.
Sophisticated software within the AV32R automatically determines the
appropriate decoding mode for digital multi-channel sources (such as
Dolby Digital). The auto detect LED will light once the decoding mode has
been determined

whilst the name of the active decoding mode is shown
in the display window.
You need to select manually any optional post processing modes, such as
THX or DTS Cinema.
Movies recorded in Dolby EX, DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix or DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete
(2)
include additional information allowing to abstract an additional surround
back channel for enhanced surround sound localization. You need an
AV32R equipped with the THX Surround EX Plus ‘7.1’ option to process
this additional channel. You might need to manually select this additional
processing, even if you have selected automatic detection (for details see
‘initial surround modes in the next paragraph) as many DVDs, recorded
in these extended formats, do not include the information required by the
AV32R to auto-detect these enhancements.
1. The AV32R is shipped so that when you start playing a DTS-encoded CD, there will
be a short burst of noise while the DTS format is detected. The AV32R can be set to
mute while auto-sensing in order to prevent this noise from reaching your speakers.
Please refer to the
Set-up Manual
