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
and concert halls into your home. You can also
customize the sound fields to obtain the sound
you want by changing the surround parameter.
To fully enjoy surround sound, you must
register the number and location of your
speakers. See “Multi channel surround setup”
starting from page 17 to set the speaker
parameters before enjoying surround sound.

The 2CH indicator lights up and “2CH ST.”
appears in the display.

This mode outputs the sound from the front left
and right speakers only. Standard 2 channel
(stereo) sources completely bypass the sound
field processing. Multi channel surround
formats are downmixed to 2 channel.

No sound is output from the sub woofer when
“2CH ST.” is selected. To listen to 2 channel (stereo)
sources using the front left and right speakers and a
sub woofer, press A.F.D. repeatedly to select
“A.F.D. AUTO”.

The Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) mode allows
you to select the decoding mode you want for
your audio sound.

The A.F.D. indicator lights up.

This mode 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 sub woofer.
