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.
* Depends on the Speaker Pattern setting, some Enhanced Surround Mode parameters may not be available.
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.
