Types of A.F.D. mode

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.

Sound Surround Enjoying

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.

–Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz are being received.

–“Analog Direct” is being used.

•The beginning of the sound stream may be dropped out when Neural-THX®processing is turned on or

off.

Tips

•You can identify the encoding format of DVD software, etc., by looking at the logo on the package.

•When a multi channel signal is input, only Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding is effective.

If you connect a subwoofer

This receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the subwoofer when there is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output to a subwoofer from a 2 channel signal. However, the low frequency signal is not generated for “Neo:6 Cinema” or “Neo:6 Music” when all speakers are set to “LARGE”. In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the subwoofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
