Surround sound audio modes
Most DVDs have a number of surround sound formats contained on the disc. The most common formats are DTS (Digital Theatre Systems), Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Stereo.
Once you have selected a surround sound format via the DVD’s menu, (see Using DVD menus, this chapter) the Classik Movie System allows you to further amend the audio mode in order to restrict the number of speakers used, if desired.
The options available are:
Audio mode | Speakers used |
|
|
|
|
DTS Full* | Requires 5.1 channels (five |
|
|

As Mix | As many speakers as are available (up to 6) |
|

|
3 Stereo | Fronts and centre (plus subwoofer if available) |
|
|
|
|
Phantom | Fronts and rears (plus subwoofer if available) |
|
|
|
|
Stereo | Fronts only (default for audio CD’s) |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

*Available only for discs featuring DTS format.
To cycle through the available audio modes:
●Repeatedly press the SURROUND key on the front panel or SURR on the handset. The audio modes are shown on the front panel display.
NOTES:
All above audio modes, bar DTS Full, are available when listening to a CD.
Audio modes are not available for auxiliary sources.
For Dolby Digital Stereo discs you must set the Pro Logic option in the setup menus to ON (see Setup Menus chapter).

Midnight Movie mode
Midnight Movie mode functions in the same way as the Dynamic option in the setup menus; it allows you to add compression to the audio signal in order to dampen sudden increases in volume.
To toggle between Midnight Movie mode on or off:
●Press then hold SURROUND on the front panel or SURR on the handset.
MIDNIGHT MOVIE: ON
or
MIDNIGHT MOVIE: OFF.
is displayed on the front panel.
NOTE:
Midnight Movie mode overrides the Dynamic setting in the setup menus. If the Dynamic option is set to 4/8, switching Midnight Movie mode ON adds full compression to the audio signal. If you then switch Midnight Movie mode OFF, the Dynamic setting also falls to OFF.
