– When the source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jack is being played.

– When the source being played does not contain surround left and right channel signals.

When the power of this unit is turned off, this setting will be reset to AUTO.

The Pro Logic IIx decoder is not available when “SUR. B L/R SP” is set to NONE (see page 58).
