Down Mix Mode

Down mix is the process of converting multi-channel audio to a lesser number of channels. For example, converting a 5.1ch source to stereo or converting a 7.1ch source to 5.1ch. Down mixing allows the audio output from the player to match the exact number of speakers available in your home theater.

The current down mix mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the speaker placement illustration. To change the audio down mix setting, press the ENTER button while the cursor is over the “Down Mix” option. The following down mix modes are available:

•LT/RT – Left Total/Right Total. The center and surround channels are mixed into the two front channels according to the LT/RT matrix. A receiver that supports Dolby Pro Logic or similar surround audio decoding technology will decode the two-channel audio into surround audio.

•Stereo - This mode down-mixes multi-channel audio to 2-channel stereo output. For original stereo content the output will not change. For original multi-channel content the surround and center channels will be mixed with the left and right front channels. Recommended for use with TV sets or stereo receiver/amplifiers.

•5.1Ch – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels depends on the disc. If the source content has more channels, the surround back channels will be mixed into the surround channels.

•7.1Ch – This mode enables 7.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels depends on the disc. For 6.1ch contents, the left and right surround back speakers will both output the same surround back audio channel.

Speaker Settings

For each speaker in the home theater system, you can set its size, distance and trim level. To configure a speaker, move the cursor to highlight the speaker and press the ENTER button. The Speaker Settings menu on the right side of the screen will be activated. In the Speaker Settings menu, use the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to select a parameter, and then press the ENTER button to change it. To exit the Speaker Settings menu and return to the Speaker Configuration illustration, press the LEFT ARROW button or select the “Exit” option. You can also move on to configure the next speaker by selecting the “Next Speaker” option.
