Analog Audio Out, Setting the Speaker Settings

Conﬁguring the DPC-8.5—Continued

Analog Audio Out

With this setting you can conﬁgure the FRONT, SURR 1/SURR 2, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER AUDIO OUTPUTs for use with a 2-channel amp or a multichannel amp.

■2 Channel

Choose this option if you’re connecting just the FRONT AUDIO OUTPUTs to a stereo amp. Multi- channel audio will be downmixed into 2 channels and output by the FRONT AUDIO OUTPUTs.

■Stereo Lt/Rt (Downmix)

To access this setting, select 2 Channel, and then press the [Enter] or Right [ ] button.

With this setting you can determine how the FRONT AUDIO OUT sockets downmix multichannel audio sources.

Stereo (default)

Choose this option if you’re connecting the FRONT AUDIO OUT sockets to a stereo amp or TV. Multi- channel audio is downmixed into stereo.

Lt/Rt

Choose this option if you’re connecting the FRONT AUDIO OUT sockets to an AV receiver, TV, or other component with a built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder. Multichannel audio is downmixed into an Lt/Rt mix, which is a 2-channel mix containing front left, front right, center, and surround channel information.

■Multi Channel (default)

Choose this option if you’re connecting the FRONT, SURR 1/SURR 2, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER AUDIO OUTPUTs to a multichannel amp. The FRONT AUDIO OUTPUTs will output the front left and right channel audio. When Multi Channel is selected, you can also set the following settings:

•Dolby Pro Logic Setting

•Speaker Setting

•Speaker Distance

•Test Tone

■Dolby Pro Logic Setting

This setting determines how the DPC-8.5’s built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder works with 2-channel material.

Auto (default)

The Dolby Pro Logic decoder automatically detects and decodes only Dolby Surround material.

The Dolby Pro Logic decoder decodes Dolby Sur- round material and processes the following audio formats: 2-channel Dolby Digital on DVD-Video discs, 48 kHz (16-, 20-, and 24-bit) PCM audio on DVD-Video discs, and 2-channel audio on CDs.

Off

The Dolby Pro Logic decoder is off.

Notes:

•In the Analog Audio Out, Speaker Setting, if Center Speaker or Surround Speaker is set to Off (page 27, 59), the Dolby Pro Logic decoder will not work even if you select Auto or On.

■Speaker Setting, Speaker Distance

With these settings you can enable or disable the Speaker Setting and Speaker Distance settings.

The Speaker Setting and Speaker Distance settings are enabled. These settings are explained in the fol- lowing sections.

Off

The Speaker Setting and Speaker Distance settings are disabled. Select this option if you connect the multichannel analog audio output to a multichannel analog audio input on an AV receiver that has its own speaker and distance settings.

Selecting Off is essentially the same as setting the Speaker Setting Front, Center, and Surround settings to Large, the Subwoofer setting to On, and the Speaker Distance settings to zero.

■Test Tone

The test tone is used to adjust the level of each speaker (see page 60).
