AFDM (Auto Flag Detect Mode):
•ON:
This function only works with software on which a special
identification signal is recorded. This software is scheduled
to go on sale in the future.
This is a function for automatically playing in the 6.1-
channel mode using the surround back speaker(s) if the
software is recorded in Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES or in the
normal 5.1-channel mode without using the surround back
speaker(s) when the software is not recorded in Dolby
Digital EX or DTS-ES.
When AFDM is set to “ON” and the EX/ES flag is detected
automatically, the surround mode is fixed according to the
playing program source.
In this case, the “MODE/SB CH OUT” parameter can not
be selected on the surround parameter screen.
•OFF:
When the identification signal is detected automatically and
you would like to select the surround mode freely, set
AFDM to “OFF”.
In this case, the “MODE/SB CH OUT” parameter can be
selected on the surround parameter screen regardless of
the playing program source.
