Sound from
Note
• When you select "A.F.D. 7.1CH," depending on the disc or source, the beginning of the sound may be cut off while
the optimum mode is automatically selected. To avoid cutting the sound, select "A.F.D. STD."
• When bilingual broadcast sound is input, "PRO LOGIC," "PLII MOVIE," and "PLII MUSIC" are not effective.
• Depending on the input stream, the surround settings may not be effective.
• When changing the surround setting while using the S-AIR receiver, sound from the S-AIR receiver may skip.
• When you play a Super Audio CD, surround settings are not activated.
Tip
• The system memorizes the last surround setting selected for each function.
Whenever you select a function such as "BD/DVD" or "TUNER FM," the surround setting that was last applied to
the function is automatically applied again. For example, if you select "BD/DVD" with "PRO LOGIC" as the
surround setting, then change to another function, and then return to "BD/DVD," "PRO LOGIC" will be applied
again.
