The listening mode settings are different depending on the type of input signal.

Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc :

Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc contains identification signals. When you choose FULL AUTO during “Input mode settings” (8), this amplifier detects the identification signals and change the Listen mode to the DOLBY DIGITAL EX (Dolby Digital Surround EX mode) automatically.

But sometimes we find some discs which are Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc but it does not contain the identification signals. If you find the notice like “Surround EX” on the label of disc or package, you can choose DOLBY DIGITAL EX, then you can enjoy Dolby Digital Surround EX sound.
