When selecting the DOWNMIX

•Depending on how to connect the analog AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to your amplifier/receiver or TV, you should set the DOWNMIX correctly.

•Depending on whether the 2CH AUDIO OUTPUT jacks (or the A/V SCART OUTPUT connector)to a stereo amplifier/receiver/TV or an A/V amplifier/receiver with built-in surround decoder, you should set the DOWNMIX to Lo/Ro or Lt/Rt.

•When playing back a DVD Video, DVD Audio or SACD recorded in multichannel signal format, the DOWNMIX setting affects the signals output from the 2CH OUTPUT Jacks (and the A/V SCART OUTPUT connector) and the same signals are output from only the FL and FR jacks of 5.1CH AUDIO OUTPUTs.

•When connecting only the 5.1CH AUDIO OUTPUTs to your amplifier/receiver, you should set the DOWNMIX to OFF to output the multichannel audio signals from these jacks as it was recorded.

In this case, only the front left and right signals of the multichannel audio signals will output from the 2CH AUDIO OUTPUT jacks (and the A/V SCART OUTPUT connector).

Note :

•When connecting the 5.1CH AUDIO OUTPUTs to the multichannel audio inputs of an amplifier/receiver that does not have the speaker setup for the multichannel audio inputs, you should set the SPEAKER SETUP.(For details, refer to “SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP” on page 38)
