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.

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
