Note

Based on the audio channels contained in the source, the corresponding speakers will output the sound. If there are no surround back speakers, or Powered Zone 2 is being used, Dolby Pro Logic II is used. Surround back and front wide speakers are not supported.

Front high and front wide speakers are not supported.

For the Blu-ray Discs, Dolby Digital is used in a 3.1/5.1-channel speaker system.
