Enjoying surround sounds

If “Surround On” is selected, “MULTI” surround playback automatically starts for multi-channel encoded discs regardless of the “Surround On” setting.

You cannot activate surround for MPEG multi-channel DVD Video and MPEG 2- channel sources. If “Surround On” is selected, stereo sounds are emitted only through the front speakers. “FRONT 2CH” appears on the disc information screen.

With “Auto” selected for “Surround On,” stereo playback will start for DVD, DTS- CD, and MPEG 2-channel sources without surround signal encoded. In this case, no sound comes out of the subwoofer.

When “FIX” appears on the disc information screen, no sound comes out of the subwoofer.
