Enjoying Surround Sound
Using only the front
speakers
In this mode, the receiver outputs the sound
from the front L/R 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 STEREO" 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 L/R speakers and a sub woofer,
select "A.F.D. AUTO" and set "A.F.D. 2CH SW" in
the SURR SET UP menu to "CREATE".

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, when "A.F.D. 2CH SW" in the SURR
SET UP menu is set to "CREATE" and 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.
Tip
In most cases, "A.F.D. AUTO" provides the most
appropriate decoding. You may want to use SURR
BACK DECODING (page 36) to match the input
stream to the mode you prefer.
