The Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) mode allows
you to select the decoding mode you want for
your audio sound.

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.

Tip

In most cases, “A.F.D. AUTO” provides the most

appropriate decoding. You may want to use SURR

BACK DECODING (page 33) to match the input

stream to the mode you prefer.

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.
