Enjoying Surround Sound 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 [appears on TV screen] audio after decoding A.F.D. Auto [A.F.D. Auto] (Detecting automatically) Presets the sound as it was recorded/encoded without adding any surround effects. Enhanced Surround Mode [Enhanced Sur] Pro Logic II* [PL II] 5-channel signals Perform Dolby Pro Logic II decoding. Pro Logic IIx* [PL IIx] 7-channel signals Perform Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding. Neo:6 Cinema [Neo:6 Cinema] 7-channel signals Perform DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode decoding. Neo:6 Music [Neo:6 Music] Neural-THX® [Neural-THX] 7-channel signals Performs 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 Neural-THX® surround encoded content. Multi Stereo [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. * 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. 53US
