AFDM

Auto-select surround mode by source.
This function only works for software containing a special identification
signal.
If the software being played is recorded in Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES,
it is played in 6.1-channels. If not, it is played in 5.1-channels.

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

“SB CH Out” 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 “SB CH Out” to “MTRX ON” or “PLIIx CINEMA”.
