Audio Output mode, Speaker Installation

3.9

Note: Even if you set Audio Output Mode to 5.1 Channel, you’ll only get sound from all speakers when playing a multichannel DVD-Audio disc, SACD, or Dolby Digital or DTS encoded DVD disc.

-When set to 5.1 Channel, only the front left/right channels are output from the AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks. Change to 2 Channel if you want to listen to downmixed stereo audio (for example, because you are listening through the TV’s built-in speakers).

-When set to 5.1 Channel there is no digital output when playing DVD-Audio.

-If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio is mixed down to two channels so you still hear all the audio recorded on the disc.

-Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-mixing of audio. These discs always output multi-channel audio regardless of the setting made here.

Note: You can see the effect of your changes in the room graphic on the right of the screen.

-Except for the subwoofer, you can set speaker size to Large or Small. If the main speaker cone in the speaker is 12cm or more, set to Large, otherwise set to Small (or Off if you don’t have that speaker).

-If you set the front L and R speakers to Small, the center and surround speakers are automatically set to Small and the subwoofer to On.

-The subwoofer can only be set to On or Off.

Note: When listening to a DVD-Audio or DTS source, the C, LS, and RS speakers will automatically be set to the Large size setting. However, the sound will not be affected by the change. Listening to another source will return the speakers to their original settings.

-For DVD-Audio only, if the C, LS, or RS speaker is set to Off, the audio is automatically down-mixed to stereo.
