“A. F. D. AUTO” (Auto Format Direct Auto)
Presents the sound as it was recorded or encoded, without adding any effects (e.g. reverberation). The auto decoding function automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding as necessary. If there are no low frequency signals (Dolby Digital LFE, etc.), it will generate a low frequency signal for output to the subwoofer.
“2CH STEREO” (2 Channel Stereo)
Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard 2 channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing.
“PRO LOGIC” (Dolby Pro Logic)
Produces five output channels from 2 channel sources. This mode performs Pro Logic decoding to the input signal and output to front, centre, and surround speakers.
Meanwhile, the surround channel becomes monaural.
