HD-D.C.S. has three different types:
Theater, Dynamic, and Studio. Each type
has different reflection and reverberation
sound mixture levels and is optimized to
match a listener's room uniqueness, taste
and mood.
• Theater
Theater type (default setting) mixes
reflection and reverberation sound
creating the characteristics of a mastering
studio. Additionally, this type mixes in
frequency characteristics that are often
found in professional studios and movie
theaters. It is ideal for watching movies in
a listening room that has less
reverberation.
• Dynamic
Want to enjoy the sound effects to the full
extent, just like at the movie theaters?
Dynamic type emphasizes on the
reflection sound. Without HD-D.C.S.,
many rooms are often somewhat
reverberant but lack a spacious feeling.
This type acoustically opens up those
types of rooms and provides a spacious
and dynamism feeling equivalent to a
mastering studio.
• Studio
In Studio type, effects are kept to a
minimum, while still providing a great
theater experience. This type provides the
accuracy of the original recording.

.
The receiver outputs the sound from the front
left/right speakers only. There is no sound
from the subwoofer.
Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely
bypass the sound field processing and multi
channel surround formats are downmixed to 2
channel except LFE signals.
Note
No sound is output from the subwoofer in the 2ch
Stereo mode. To listen to 2 channel stereo sources
using the front left/right speakers and a subwoofer,
select "A.F.D. Auto".
This receiver will generate a low frequency signal
for output to the subwoofer when there is no LFE
signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output from
a subwoofer to a 2 channel signal.
x 2ch Analog Direct
You can switch the audio of the selected input
to 2 channel analog input. This function
enables you to enjoy high quality analog
sources.
When using this function, only the volume and
front speaker balance can be adjusted.
