The listening mode settings are stored separately for each input. If

the input mode is set to full auto the receiver selects the optimal

listening mode automatically based on the type of input signal and

Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc :

Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc contains the identification

signals. When you choose FULL AUTO during “Input mode set-

tings” (9), this amplifire detects the identification signals and

change the LISTEN mode to the DOLBY D EX(Dolby Digital Surround

EX mode) automatically.

But sometimes we find some discs which is Dolby Digital Surround

EX compliant disc but it does not contain the identification signals.

If you find the notice like “Surround EX” on the label of disc or

package, you can choose DOLBY D EX then you can enjoy Dolby

Digital Surround EX sound.
