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

output during DVD VIDEO and DivX video
