Enjoying Surround Sound You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of receiver's preprogrammed sound fields. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theatres into your home. To select sound field, press A.F.D., 2CH, or MODE on the remote repeatedly until the sound field you want appears in the front panel display. Automatic decoding of the audio input signal (AUTO FORMAT DIRECT AUTO) The auto decoding function automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding if necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/encoded, without adding any effects (e.g. reverberation). However, if there are no low frequency signals (Dolby Digital LFE, etc.), it will generate a low frequency signal for output to the subwoofer. Sound field AUTO FORMAT DIRECT AUTO Display A.F.D. AUTO Using only the front speaker (2 CHANNEL STEREO) This mode outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers.

This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right speakers. 2CH A.F.D. Press 2CH on the remote. "2CH STEREO" appears in the front panel display. Sound field 2CHANNEL STEREO Display 2CH STEREO Press A.F.D. on the remote repeatedly until "A.F.D. AUTO" appears in the front panel display. 44US
