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 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.

This setting is ideal for normal stereo sources
such as AUDIO CDs. The source recorded in
2 channels is decoded into 5.1 channels.

is decoded into 5.1 channels.

AUDIO CD, VIDEO CD and MP3 audio
tracks.

The normal sound field for headphones.
