Downmix

Since most DVD discs feature Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtracks, you will need to use the downmix options. You have the following setup options:

LT/RT: If you set to LT/RT, a mixed signal of the surround signal will be pro- duced on the left and right output. The left output signal consists of the front left signal plus centre and the sum signal of the left and right signal of the surround speakers. The right output signal consists of the front right signal plus subwoofer plus the difference signal of the left and right signal of the surround speakers. This setting should be used only with Dolby Pro Logic receivers capable of decoding this signal type.

Stereo: If you plan to use the stereo analogue outputs for a connection to a TV or receiver, you must enable this setting to downmix the 5.1 channel soundtracks of most DVD movies to a stereo format. If you set to stereo, the left signal consists of the front left signal plus surround left signal and sum signal of the centre and subwoofer. The right signal consists of the front right signal plus surround right signal and sum signal of the centre and subwoofer. This setting should be used for most televisions and stereo audio equipment.

Dynamic range

In this menu you can set the dynamic range. This option is sometimes called “midnight mode”. The Dynamic Range Compression aims to make watching a movie at low volumes more enjoyable by boosting the quieter sounds while suppressing the louder sounds. Use the buttons “C” and “D” to adjust this mode to “Full”, “1/2” or “Off”. Confirm your selection by pressing “ENTER” on your remote control.
