Denon 3803 question?

dave shepard

I have been playing with the set-up since I put in the new amp and while I figured most of what the reciever can do I have ran into a setting that is not explained in the manual or what it is for. In the set-up menu screen there is a item called AFDM which can be on or off. I have never played with it before but when I turn it on and off the sound cuts-out as though it changed but can't really tell. Anyone know?

Thanks
Dave

From Audioholics...

AFDM is simply a software embedded identification signal (or “flag”) that will automatically trigger 6.1 channel mode using the surround back speakers for content that is encoded in THX Surround EX or DTS-ES. (When auto-detect is engaged, only 5.1 will be used if the AFDM signal is not detected.)
