This receiver can create multi channel 
surround sound. You can select one of the 
optimized sound fields from the receiver’s 
pre-programmed sound fields.

You can also use 2CH/A.DIRECT, A.F.D., 
MOVIE (HD-D.C.S.) or MUSIC on the 
receiver.

You can switch the output sound to 2 channel 
sound regardless of the recording formats of 
the software you are using, the playback 
equipment connected, or the sound field 
settings of the receiver.

x 2CH ST. (2ch Stereo)

The receiver outputs the sound from the front 
left/right speakers only. There is no sound 
from the subwoofer.
Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely 
bypass the sound field processing and multi 
channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 
channels.

x A. DIRECT (Analog Direct)

You can switch the audio of the selected input 
to 2 channel analog input. This function 
enables you to enjoy high quality analog 
sources.
When using this function, only the volume and 
front speaker level can be adjusted.

You cannot select “A. DIRECT” when you select 
BD/DVD, GAME and USB as input.

The Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) mode allows 
you to listen to higher fidelity sound and select 
the decoding mode for listening to a 2 channel 
stereo sound as multi channel sound.

x A.F.D. AUTO (A.F.D. Auto)

Presets the sound as it was recorded/encoded 
without adding any surround effects.
However, for USA and Canada models, this 
receiver will generate a low frequency signal 
for output to the subwoofer when there is no 
LFE signals.

x MULTI ST. (Multi Stereo) 

Outputs 2 channel left/right signals from all 
speakers. However, sound may not be output 
from certain speakers depending on the 
speaker settings.

You can take advantage of surround sound 
simply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre- 
programmed sound fields. They bring the 
exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters 
into your home.
