Switching the mode of the DTS decoder “NEURAL-X

You can switch the DTS decoder to “Direct Mode” (“NEURAL-X” is set to “OFF”) or “Non-Direct Mode” (“NEURAL-X” is set to “ON”).

When in “Direct Mode,” the audio is extracted and reproduced as closely as possible to what the content creator intended. When in “Non-Direct Mode,” 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. This operation is only available using the display panel on the front of the receiver.

  1. Press AMP MENU.
  2. Select “<AUDIO>” - “NEURAL-X” on the display panel.
  3. Select the setting you want.
    • ON: The DTS decoder is switched to “Non-Direct Mode.”
    • OFF: The DTS decoder is switched to “Direct Mode.”

    • [2ch Stereo], [Direct], [Dolby Surround] or [Front Surround] is selected.
