Enjoying Surround Sound

Using only the front speakers(2CH STEREO)

In this mode, the receiver outputs the sound from the front L/R speakers only. There is no sound from the sub woofer.

Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing and multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channel.

You can also use 2CH on the receiver.

Note

No sound is output from the sub woofer in the 2CH STEREO mode. To listen to 2 channel stereo sources using the front L/R speakers and a sub woofer, select “A.F.D. AUTO” and set “A.F.D. 2CH SW” on the SURR SET UP menu to “CREATE” (page 99). This receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the sub woofer when there is no L.F.E. signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output from a sub woofer to a 2 channel signal.

Detecting the type of audio signal automatically(AUTO FORMAT DIRECT)

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.
