Down-mix

Use this option to set the audio down-mix mode for converting multi- channel audio into two-channel output. This setting affects the analog and HDMI audio outputs. The options are:

LT/RT – Dolby Pro Logic II Left Total/Right Total. This mode is intended for use with two-channel Dolby Pro Logic II receivers. The center and surround channels are mixed into the two front channels according to the LT/RT matrix. A Dolby Pro Logic II receiver will decode the two- channel audio into surround audio.

Stereo - This mode down-mixes decoded multi-channel (5.1ch) audio to 2-channel stereo output. For original stereo content the output will still be stereo. For original multi-channel content the surround and center channels will be mixed with the left and right front channels. Recommended for use with TV sets or stereo receiver/amplifiers.

V. Surround - Virtual Surround. This mode creates a virtual surround effect from stereo or multi-channel audio contents.

5.1CH – This mode enables 5.1 channel decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels depends on the disc.

7.1CH – This mode enables 7.1 channel decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels depends on the disc. For 6.1 channel contents, the left and right surround back speakers will both output the same surround back audio channel.

In the next series of menus for each speaker type, select from 'Large' and 'Small' for each speaker (‘Large’ and ‘Small’ are used to describe each speaker in terms of bass response and do not necessarily reflect the actual physical size of the speaker).

Large = Speakers with an extended low frequency response of approximately 20-40Hz to 16-20kHz (floorstanders or high quality larger stand-mounted speakers).

Small = Speakers with a less extended low frequency response of approximately 80-100Hz to 16-20kHz (small stand-mounted, bookshelf or satellite speakers).

Setting each speaker allows the DVD99 to perform what is called Bass Management and to direct low frequency bass from music and the Low Frequency Effects channel of surround sound material away from speakers not able to reproduce it and to the subwoofer channel instead.

Front, Centre and Surround Speakers

These settings allow selection of 'Large' or 'Small' speaker 'size' as described above. If there is no center speaker, surround speakers or surround back speakers, select the 'Off' option for these speakers.

Subwoofer

Use to enable (On) /disable (Off) the subwoofer output.
