• SBS MULTI (Sound Broadcasting System 

Multi mode):

• 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 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.

movies. The source recorded in 2 channels is 
decoded into 5.1 channels.

• PLII  MUSIC:
