[2-656-285-14(1)]

In this mode, the receiver outputs the sound
from the front left/right speakers only. There is
no sound from the sub woofer.

Listening to 2 channel stereo
sources (2CH STEREO)

Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely
bypass the sound field processing and multi
channel surround formats are downmixed to 2
channel.

Press 2CH.

“2CH ST.” appears in the display and the
receiver switches to the 2CH STEREO mode.

Note

No sound is output from the sub woofer in the 2CH
STEREO mode. To listen to the 2 channel stereo
sources using the front left/right speakers and a sub
woofer, set A.F.D. mode to “A.F.D. AUTO”.

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

Notes

• When the karaoke function is activated, you can only

select “A.F.D. AUTO”.

• If you activate the karaoke function while A.F.D.

mode is operating, the system will automatically
switch to “A.F.D. AUTO”.

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.
