You can take advantage of surround sound
simply by selecting one of receiver’s pre-
programmed sound fields. They bring the
exciting and powerful sound of movie theatres
into your home.
To select sound field, press A.F.D., 2CH, or
MODE on the remote repeatedly until the sound
field you want appears in the front panel display.

Automatic decoding of the
audio input signal (AUTO
FORMAT DIRECT AUTO)

The auto decoding function automatically
detects the type of audio signal being input
(Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel
stereo) and performs the proper decoding if
necessary. This mode presents the sound as it
was recorded/encoded, without adding any
effects (e.g. reverberation).
However, if there are no low frequency signals
(Dolby Digital LFE, etc.), it will generate a low
frequency signal for output to the subwoofer.

Press A.F.D. on the remote repeatedly until
“A.F.D. AUTO” appears in the front panel
display.

Using only the front speaker
(2 CHANNEL STEREO)

This mode outputs the sound from the front left
and right speakers. Standard two channel
(stereo) sources completely bypass the sound
field processing. Multi channel surround
formats are downmixed to two channels.
This allows you to play any source using only
the front left and right speakers.

Press 2CH on the remote.

“2CH STEREO” appears in the front panel
display.
