The surround modes you can select depend on the playback source and the selected speaker position

mode ( 11). For details on each surround mode, see “Available surround modes”
( 31).

AUTO SUR = MOVIE = WIDE/2CH = SUPER W = OFF = (back to the beginning)
When the source is “FM” or “AM,” the surround mode cannot be activated.

• When the speaker position mode is “S.SPK R”:

During 2-channel playback:
AUTO SUR = MOVIE = MUSIC = STADIUM
=ALL ST = OFF = (back to the beginning)
When the source is “FM” or “AM,” you can only select “ALL ST.”
During multi-channel playback:
AUTO SUR = currently selected mode* = OFF
=(back to the beginning)

*When “AUTO SUR” is selected, the System automatically selects a proper multi-channel surround mode, such as “DOLBY D (Dolby Digital)” or “DTS (DTS Digital Surround).”

To check the surround mode currently selected, press SURROUND once.

During playback of ASF, MPEG-2, or MPEG-1 files, the surround mode setting is ineffective.

During playback of DivX, the surround mode setting is effective only for multi-channel files with “S.SPK R” selected as the speaker position mode.
