SBS MULTI (Sound Broadcasting System Multi mode): Performs suitable decoding based on the source to maximize the sound field effect. This mode lets you enjoy audio playback of all types of discs from multiple speakers.

A.F.D. AUTO (Auto Format Direct Auto): The number of sound channels depends on the source. During DVD function, when 2 channel sources such as AUDIO CD, VIDEO CD and MP3 audio tracks are played back, only 2 sound channels would be output. However, the number of sound channels output during DVD VIDEO and DivX video files playback would depend on the audio format selection. During other functions, the system would only output

2 sound channels. This setting is ideal when you want to listen to the original sound from the source. During Super Audio CD playback, the number of sound channels would depend on the layer and area selected (page 26).

PRO LOGIC: Performs Pro Logic decoding. The source recorded in 2 channels is decoded into 4.1 channels.

PLII MOVIE: Performs Pro Logic II Movie mode decoding. This setting is ideal for movies encoded in Dolby Surround. In addition, this mode can reproduce sound in 5.1 channels when watching videos of overdubbed or old movies.

PLII MUSIC: Performs Pro Logic II Music mode decoding. This setting is ideal for normal stereo sources such as AUDIO CDs.

V.M.DIM.: Performs DCS (Digital Cinema Sound) decoding. The source recorded in 2 channels is decoded into 5.1 channels.

LINK: Reproduces the surround channels from the front channels.

2CH STEREO: Reproduces stereo output from multi channel sources such as DVD VIDEOs and DivX video files during DVD function. The system outputs the original sound during functions other than DVD and during playback of stereo sources such as AUDIO CD.
