(AUTO FORMAT DIRECT)
The Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) mode allows
you to listen to higher fidelity sound.
This mode presents the sound as it was
recorded/encoded without adding any
surround effects. However, this receiver will
generate a low frequency signal for output to
the sub woofer when there is no LFE signals.
Press A.F.D.
“A.F.D. AUTO” appears on the display.
The receiver automatically detects the type of
audio signal being input and performs the
proper decoding if necessary.
If you connect a sub woofer
This receiver will generate a low frequency
signal for output to the sub woofer when there
is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound
effect output from a sub woofer to a 2 channel
signal.
Note
This function does not work when ANALOG
DIRECT is selected.
Selecting a pre-
programmed sound field
You can take advantage of surround sound
simply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre-
programmed sound fields. They bring the
exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters
and concert halls into your home.
Press MOVIE repeatedly to select a
sound field for movies or press
MUSIC repeatedly to select a sound
field for music.
For details, see “Types of sound field
available” (page 30).
