Enjoying Surround Sound

Enjoying Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound(A.F.D. mode)

The A.F.D. (Auto Format Direct) 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.

A.F.D.

Press A.F.D. repeatedly to select the sound field you want.

For details, see “Type of A.F.D. mode” (page 70).

You can also select “A.F.D.” in the Sur Settings menu. For details, see “Settings for the surround sound (Sur Settings menu)” (page 59).

Notes

This function does not work in the following cases.

MULTI IN is selected.

Input signals of which the sampling frequency is more than 48 kHz are being received.

If you set up the sound field during DTS 96/24 signal reception, it will play back only at 48 kHz.

Tips

• We usually recommend “A.F.D. AUTO,” however

 

sometimes it may be better to use “SB

 

DECODING” (page 60) to match the input stream

 

to the mode you prefer.

 

• You can identify the encoding format of DVD

 

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

 

package.
