With this format you can experience the same superb sound that you get at a movie theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo.

This digital surround format offers a sur- round sound experience with exceptional fidelity. It uses compressed digital audio data, with six discrete channels (5.1), and the

ability to handle large amounts of audio data while remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides very high-quality sound. You’ll need a DTS compatible DVD player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS logo.

This mode is suitable for use with old movies and other mono sound sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that fills the entire listening area.

Full Mono

In this mode, all speakers output mono audio, so the music sounds the same regardless of where you are.
