Dolby Digital 5.1

Dolby Digital Surround EX

Dolby Digital decoding is auto-detected and cannot be overridden. You may, however, select a 2 channel downmix of 5.1 channel record- ings. If the system is configured with center back speaker(s), you can also force Dolby Sur- round EX processing on or off.

NOTE: In addition to the options that follow, you can press the 2CH button on the remote to toggle between 2-channel downmix and multichannel playback.

•On a 5.1 system. Press the SUR+ but- ton on the remote, then press the +/– but- tons to change between DD 5.1 channel or DD 2.0 channel downmix playback. On the front panel, press the MODE button once, then rotate the FUNCTION knob to select 2.0 or 5.1 channel playback.

•On a 6.1/7.1 system with a Dolby Digital 5.1 disc. Press the SUR+ button on the remote, then use the +/– buttons to step through four options: DD 5.1 chan- nel, DD 2.0 channel downmix, DD Surround EX center back processing, or DD with Rotel XS center back processing. On the front panel, press the MODE button while playing a Dolby Digital source. Then, rotate the FUNCTION knob to step through the same options. You should force Surround EX on for non-flagged discs that are labeled Dolby Digital Surround EX. Rotel XS processing of standard 5.1 channel discs will provide a more diffuse surround effect than the more highly localized Dolby EX decoding and will probably be the best 6.1 channel option for non-Surround EX discs.

•On a 6.1/7.1 system with a Dolby Digital Surround EX disc. Press the SUR+ button on the remote, then use the +/– buttons to step through three options: DD 5.1 channel, DD 2.0 channel down- mix, or Surround EX center back process- ing. On the front panel, press the MODE button while playing a Dolby Digital source. Then, rotate the FUNCTION knob to step through the same options. Select the Sur- round EX option for 6.1 channel playback. Select the DD 5.1 option to force Surround EX off for standard 5.1 channel playback.

NOTE: When playing any Dolby Digital source, you can select one of three dynamic range control settings. See the Dynamic Range topic in the Other Settings section of this manual.
