[Example] Playing Dolby Digital software (with EX flag)
• When “AFDM” is set to “ON”, the surround mode is automatically set
to the DOLBY D + PLgx C mode.
• To play in the DOLBY DIGITAL EX mode, set “AFDM” to “OFF” and
“Surround Parameter” – “S.Back” to “MTRX ON”.
Some Dolby Digital EX sources do not include EX flags. If the playback
mode does not switch automatically even when “AFDM” is set to
“ON”, set “Surround Parameter” – “S.Back” to “MTRX ON” or
“PLgx CINEMA”.
