Surround Mode Chart

Dolby Digital: Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated Low Frequency Effects channel.

Dolby Digital signals will be down-mixed to

2-channel Stereo or processed to Dolby Virtual Speaker in order to be played back over the 2.1 loudspeaker system.

DTS: Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data. Available on special DVD, LD and audio-only discs, DTS provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low frequency channel.

DTS signals will be down-mixed to 2-channel Stereo or processed to Dolby Virtual Speaker in order to be played back over the 2.1 loud- speaker system.

Dolby Virtual Speaker: This technology uses a next-generation advanced algorithm to repro- duce the dynamics and surround sound effects of a precisely placed 5.1-channel speaker system using only front left and right speakers. In the Reference Mode, the apparent width of the sound across the front image is defined by the distance between the two speakers. The Wide Mode provides a wider, more spacious front image when the two speakers are close together.

NOTE: The HS 150 will not play back any of the formats SVCD/VCD, MPEG1 (Video), MPEG2 (Video) and audio CD tracks (CDDA) stored on an external USB hard drive.

•You will need a FAT32 pre-formatted external hard disk drive with USB connector. If your disk is formatted with another file system (like NTFS) you will need to re-format it. Please contact your hard disk supplier for more information.

•We recommend creating folders and sort the files by file type (movies, pictures or music). This will allow you to quickly find the file you’re looking for.
