Press SOUND FIELD repeatedly until
"A.F.D." appears on the front panel
display.
This mode automatically detects the type of
audio signal being input (Dolby Digital,
DTS, or standard 2 channel stereo) and
performs the proper decoding if necessary.
This mode presents the sound as it was
recorded/encoded, without adding any
effects (e.g. reverberation). However, if
there are no low frequency signals (Dolby
Digital LFE, etc.), it will generate a low
frequency signal for output to the sub
woofer.
