Decoding the input audio signal automatically 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. However, if there are no low frequency signals (Dolby Digital LFE, etc.) it will generate a low frequency signal for output to the sub woofer. Press A.F.D. repeatedly to select "A.F.D. AUTO". The receiver automatically detects the type of audio signal being input and performs the proper decoding if necessary. Enjoying stereo sound in multi channel (2 channel decoding mode) This mode lets you specify the type of decoding for 2 channel audio sources. This receiver can reproduce 2 channel sound in 5 channels through Dolby Pro Logic II; 7 channels through Dolby Pro Logic IIx; 6 channels through DTS Neo:6 or 4 channels through Dolby Pro Logic. However, DTS 2CH sources are not decoded by DTS Neo:6; they are output in 2 channels. Press A.F.D. repeatedly to select the 2 channel decoding mode. The selected type of decoding appears in the display. x DOLBY PL (PRO LOGIC) Performs Dolby Pro Logic decoding. The source recorded in 2 channel is decoded into 4.1 channels. x PLII MV (PRO LOGIC II MOVIE) Performs Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode decoding. This setting is ideal for movies encoded in Dolby Surround. In addition, this mode can reproduce sound in 5.1 channel when watching videos of overdubbed or old movies. x PLII MS (PRO LOGIC II MUSIC) Performs Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode decoding. This setting is ideal for normal stereo sources such as CDs. x PLII GM (PRO LOGIC II GAME) Performs Dolby Pro Logic II Game mode decoding. This setting is ideal for video game softwares. x PLIIX MV (PRO LOGIC IIx MOVIE) Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode decoding. This setting expands Dolby Pro Logic II Movie or Dolby Digital 5.1 to discrete 7.1 movie channels. x PLIIX MS (PRO LOGIC IIx MUSIC) Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode decoding. This setting shares hard "back" effects across all surround speakers. x PLIIX GM (PRO LOGIC IIx GAME) Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game mode decoding. This setting delivers full-impact special effect signals panned to the surround speakers. Note Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding does not function for DTS format signals or for signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz. x NEO6 CIN (Neo:6 Cinema) Performs DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode decoding. x NEO6 MUS (Neo:6 Music) Performs DTS Neo:6 Music mode decoding. This setting is ideal for normal stereo sources such as CDs. x MULTI ST. (MULTI STEREO) Outputs the 2 channel left/right signals from all speakers. The sound of speakers may not output depending on the speakers settings. If you connect a sub woofer When the audio signal is 2 channel stereo or if the source signal does not include a LFE signal, the receiver generates a low frequency signal for output to the sub woofer. However, the low frequency signal is not generated for "NEO6 CIN" or "NEO6 MUS" when all speakers are set to "LARGE". 32GB
