Enjoying Surround Sound

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.

* Depends on the speaker pattern setting, some enhanced surround mode parameter may not be available.

Notes

• This function does not work in the following cases.

– The multi channel input is selected.

– DTS-HD signals with a sampling frequency of

more than 48 kHz are being received.

frequency of more than 48 kHz are being

received.

out when Neural-THX® processing is turned on or

software, etc., by looking at the logo on the

package.
