So why such a ridiculously high `Upgrade Until Custom` and not a score of `500`?

Because I'm too lazy to calculate the maximum for every Quality Profile I use, and I want it to upgrade to the highest possible score anyway.

??? question "How to use a Custom Format to avoid certain releases? - [Click to show/hide]"

For Custom Formats you really want to avoid, set it to something really low like `-10000` and not something like `-10`.
Being when you add a Custom Format what you prefer and you set it to something like `+10` it could happen that for example the `BR-DISK` will be downloaded (-10)+(+10)=0 and if your `Minimum Custom Format Score` is set at `0`.
When you add your preferred Custom Format and set it to something like `+10`, it's possible that, for example, the `BR-DISK` will be downloaded - (-10)+(+10)=0 - if your `Minimum Custom Format Score` is set at `0`.

### Releases you should avoid

This is a must have for every Quality Profile you use in my opinion. All these Custom Formats make sure you don't get Low Quality Releases.

Some people suggest not to use negative scores for your Custom Formats and set this option to a higher score than 0.

The reason why I don't prefer/use this is because you could limit yourself when some new groups or whatever will be released.

Also it makes it much more clear what you prefer and what you want to avoid.

### Audio Channels

??? info "Audio Channels - [Click to show/hide]"

Elsewhere in the guide, you will find a separate group of custom formats called `Audio Channels`. These will match the number of audio channels in a release, for example 2.0 (stereo) or 5.1/7.1 (surround sound). Personally I wouldn't add the audio channels Custom Formats as you could limit yourself in the amount of releases you're able to get. Only use them if you have a specific need for them.

Using it with any kind of Remuxes Quality Profile is useless in my opinion being that 99% of all remuxes are multi audio anyway. You can get better scores just using the `Audio Advanced` Custom Formats.
