Audio Out

• Default setting: 2 Channel

If you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front, surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this to 5.1 Channel; if you connected only the stereo outputs, set to 2 Channel.

Note

•Even if you set Audio Out to 5.1 Channel, you’ll only get sound from all speakers when playing a multi-channel DVD-Audio disc, multi- channel Super Audio CD disc, Dolby Digital or DTS encoded DVD disc.

•If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital and DTS are mixed down to two channels so you still hear all the audio recorded on the disc.

•Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down- mixing of audio. These discs always output multi-channel audio regardless of the setting made here.

•Sound recorded on MPEG is outputted on 2 channel even if Audio Out is set to 5.1 CH.
