Use the buttons on the front panel to operate the following modes A.F.D. AUTO FORMAT DECODING (Press the A.F.D. button) Automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, or standard two channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding if necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/encoded, without adding any effects. 2CH ST. 2 CHANNEL (Press the 2CH button) Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers only. Standard two channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. Multi channel surround formats are downmixed to two channels. You can use this mode as a reference. Set the EQUALIZER to OFF while using this mode to hear the source sound exactly as it was recorded. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right speakers. Notes • No sound is output from the sub woofer when the 2 CHANNEL mode is selected. To listen to two channel (stereo) sources using the front left and right speakers and a sub woofer, use the AUTO FORMAT DECODING mode. • When you select "Micro Satellite Speaker", internal sound processor will automatically redirect bass sound to subwoofer. If you want to listen to two channel (stereo) sources under this setting, we recommend that you choose AUTO FORMAT DECODING mode so that you can take advantage of your subwoofer to get back correct bass signal.
