Enjoying Surround Sound Enjoying Surround Sound Using only the front speakers (2CH STEREO) In this mode, the receiver outputs the sound from the front L/R speakers only. There is no sound from the sub woofer. Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing and multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channel. 1 2 1 Press SOUND FIELD. The sound field list appears. 2 Move the easy scroll key to select "2CH STEREO," then press the key to enter the selection. You can also use 2CH on the receiver. Note No sound is output from the sub woofer in the 2CH STEREO mode. To listen to 2 channel stereo sources using the front L/R speakers and a sub woofer, select "A.F.D. AUTO" and set "A.F.D. 2CH SW" on the SURR SET UP menu to "CREATE" (page 99). This receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the sub woofer when there is no L.F.E. signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output from a sub woofer to a 2 channel signal. Detecting the type of audio signal automatically (AUTO FORMAT DIRECT) 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. Enjoying higher fidelity sound In this mode, the receiver automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, DTS, standard 2 channel stereo, etc.) and performs the proper decoding, if necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/encoded, without adding any surround effects. We usually recommend AUTO, however sometimes it may be better to use SURR BACK DECODING (page 95) to match the input stream to the mode you prefer. 1 2 1 Press SOUND FIELD. The sound field list appears. 2 Move the easy scroll key to select "A.F.D. AUTO," then press the key to enter the selection. You can also use A.F.D. on the receiver. 89GB
