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. A.F.D. mode Multi channel Effect audio after decoding A.F.D. Auto (Detecting Presets the sound as it was recorded/encoded without automatically) adding any surround effects. Enhanced Surround Pro Logic II* 5-channel signals Perform Dolby Pro Logic II decoding. Pro Logic IIx* 7-channel signals Perform Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding. Neo:6 Cinema 7-channel signals Perform DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode decoding. Neo:6 Music Neural-THX 7-channel signals Perform DTS Neo:6 Music mode decoding. This setting is ideal for normal stereo sources such as CDs. 7-channel signals Next generation of Neural-THX® Surround. In addition to stereo enhancement processing and pure discrete 5.1 surround sound, now capable for full 360° 7.1 surround sound playback from NeuralTHX® surround encoded content. Multi Stereo (Multi Stereo) Outputs 2 channel left/right signals from all speakers. However, sound may not be output from certain speakers depending on the speaker settings. * Depending on the speaker pattern setting, the appropriate Enhanced Surround mode appears. Notes • This function does not work in the following cases. - The multi channel input is selected. - DTS-HD signals with a sampling frequency of 88.2 kHz and higher are being received. - Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling frequency of 88.2 kHz and higher are being received. - PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 88.2 kHz and higher are being received. • Neural-THX is not effective when a sampling frequency of 88.2 kHz and higher are being received or a 2 channel analog signal is input. The Neural-THX processing will be turned off automatically when another type of signal is input. The beginning of the sound may drop out when the SURROUND processing is turned on/off. Tips • You can identify the encoding format of DVD software, etc., by looking at the logo on the package. • Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding is effective when a multi channel signal is input. 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 from a subwoofer to 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. 62US
