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.
* Depending on the speaker pattern setting, the appropriate Enhanced Surround mode appears.
Notes
• This function does not work in the following cases.
– The multi channel input is selected.
– DTS-HD signals with a sampling frequency of
88.2 kHz and higher are being received.
– Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling
frequency of 88.2 kHz and higher are being
received.
– PCM signals with a sampling frequency of
88.2 kHz and higher are being received.
• Neural-THX is not effective when a sampling
frequency of 88.2 kHz and higher are being
received or a 2 channel analog signal is input. The
Neural-THX processing will be turned off
automatically when another type of signal is input.
The beginning of the sound may drop out when the
SURROUND processing is turned on/off.
Tips
• You can identify the encoding format of DVD
software, etc., by looking at the logo on the
package.
• Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding is effective when a
multi channel signal is input.
