To turn the surround effect off
Select “A.F.D. STD” or “2CH STEREO” for “DEC. MODE” and set the sound mode (page 51) to
“MOVIE” or “MUSIC.”
Note
• When you select “A.F.D. MULTI,” depending on the disc or source, the beginning of the sound may be cut off as
the optimum mode is automatically selected. To avoid cutting the sound, select “A.F.D. STD.”
• When the input signal is multi channel source, “PRO LOGIC,” “PLII MOVIE,” and “PLII MUSIC” are canceled
and the multi channel source is output directly.
• When the bilingual broadcast sound is input, “PRO LOGIC,” “PLII MOVIE,” and “PLII MUSIC” are not effective.
• “PRO LOGIC,” “PLII MOVIE,” and “PLII MUSIC” are canceled when you set the sound mode (page 51) to the
following setting.
– “SPORTS”
– “MOVIE-D.C.S.-”
• Depending on the input stream, the decoding mode may not be effective.
• When changing the decoding mode while using the S-AIR receiver, sound from the S-AIR receiver may skip.
Tip
• The system memorizes the last decoding mode selected for each function mode.
Whenever you select a function such as “DVD” or “TUNER,” the decoding mode that was last applied to the
function is automatically applied again when it is returned to. For example, if you listen to “DVD” with “PRO
LOGIC” as the decoding mode, then change to another function, and then return to “DVD,” “PRO LOGIC” will be
applied again.
