Decoding the input audio signal automatically

In this mode, the receiver automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, DTS, standard 2 channel stereo, etc.) and performs the proper decoding if necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/ encoded, without adding any surround effects. However, if there are no low frequency signals (Dolby Digital LFE, etc.) it will generate a low frequency signal for output to the sub woofer.

Press A.F.D. repeatedly to select “A.F.D. AUTO”.

The receiver automatically detects the type of audio signal being input and performs the proper decoding if necessary.

Tip

In most cases, “A.F.D. AUTO” provides the most appropriate decoding. You may want to use SURR BACK DECODING (page 33) to match the input stream to the mode you prefer.

Enjoying stereo sound in multi channel (2 channel decoding mode)

This mode lets you specify the type of decoding for 2 channel audio sources. This receiver can reproduce 2 channel sound in 5 channels through Dolby Pro Logic II; 7 channels through Dolby Pro Logic IIx; 6 channels through DTS Neo:6; or 4 channels through Dolby Pro Logic. However, DTS 2CH sources are not decoded by DTS Neo:6; they are output in 2 channels.

Press A.F.D. repeatedly to select the 2 channel decoding mode.
