Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc :
Dolby Digital Surround EX compliant disc contains the identification
signals. When you choose FULL AUTO during “Input mode
setting”(8), this amplifier detects the identification signals and
change the Listen mode to the DOLBY DIGITAL EX (Dolby Digital
Surround EX mode) automatically.
But sometimes we find some discs which are Dolby Digital Surround
EX compliant disc but it does not contain the identification signals.

package, you can choose DOLBY DIGITAL EX then you can enjoy
Dolby Digital Surround EX sound.
