In case of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or Dolby Pro Logic mode, when the distances from the prime listening position to front left, center, front right, rear left and rear right speakers are same, the basic settings are as follows according to the surround modes;

-In the Dolby Digital mode,

Center delay time : 0 ms, Rear delay time : 0 ms

-In the Dolby Pro Logic II Music, Matrix or Custom mode, Rear delay time : 0 ms

-In the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic mode,

Rear delay time : 10 ms

If the center or the rear speaker(s) is(are) not at the same distance from the prime listening position as the front speakers, increase or decrease the center delay time by 1 ms for every about 30 cm(1 foot) it is closer or farther away and increase or decrease the rear delay time by 5 ms for every about 1~1.5 m(3~5 feet) it is closer or farther away.

Downmixing into 2 front channels

Allows the multi-channel DTS or Dolby Digital signals to be reproduced through only two speakers or through headphones.

When the digital signals from the DTS or Dolby Digital program sources are input in available surround mode, press the STEREO button.

STEREO

“ST” and the DTS or Dolby Digital indicators light up, meaning it enters the 2-CH downmix mode, and then the discrete multi-channels(except LFE) are mixed down into 2 front channels.

To cancel the 2-CH downmix mode, select the desired surround mode with using the DSP MODE button.

When the playback of the source on the player is stopped or interrupted, etc., the 2-CH downmix mode is not canceled even though “ST” and the DTS or Dolby Digital indicators go off.

If the headphones are plugged and the SPEAKER button is set to off while the digital signals from the DTS and Dolby Digital program sources are being input, it will enter the 2-CH downmix mode automatically(but only the DTS or Dolby Digital indicator lights up still) and if the headphones are unplugged and the SPEAKER button is set to on in the 2-CH downmix mode, it will return to the previous mode.
