38 Speaker Channel Setup

CHANNEL SETUP lets you select a surround sound effect or adjust the speakers you connected to the Player.

If you connected the Player to a TV only or to a Stereo that is not Dolby Digital or DTS compatible, adjust the DOWNMIX setting to achieve a surround sound effect without having six speakers connected to the Player.

If you connected the Player to a Multichannel Receiver (six-channel) as described on page 14, adjust the individual speakers.

2 Press 9 to select CHANNEL SETUP, then press OK.

3 Press 8 or 9 to select DOWNMIX (if you did not con- nect the Player to a Multichannel Receiver) or to select the speaker setting you want to adjust, then press :.

You can select a speaker setting only if DOWNMIX is OFF.

4 Press 89 to choose a setting for the selected item, then press OK.

SET STEREO DOWNMIX

The following settings are available for each item:

DOWNMIX: LT/RT, STEREO, VSS, or OFF.

Choose LT/RT (left/right) if the Player is connected to a Stereo that has a Dolby Pro Logic decoder.

Choose STEREO if you connected the Player to a Stereo, but the Stereo is not Dolby Digital or DTS compatible. The Player will provide a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound effect.

Choose VSS (Virtual Surround Sound) if you connected the Player to a TV only and want the Player to provide a virtual surround sound effect.

Choose OFF to disable all the DOWNMIX or surround sound effect settings.

CENTER: Choose ON to hear sound from the center speaker. To disable sound from the center speaker, choose OFF.

REAR: Choose ON to hear sound from the rear/surround speakers. To disable sound from these speakers, choose OFF.

SUBWOOFER: Choose ON to hear sound from the sub- woofer. To disable the subwoofer sound, choose OFF.

CNTR DELAY (center delay): Choose a delay time for the Center speaker in milliseconds (1-5 milliseconds), or select OFF for no speaker delay.

REAR DELAY: Choose a delay time for the Rear/Surround speakers in milliseconds (3-15 milliseconds in three second incre- ments), or select OFF for no speaker delay.

TEST TONE: Select ON to check your speakers. If all the speakers are connected correctly, you should hear a “hissing” sound from each speaker during the test. Choose OFF when you want to stop testing the speakers. (Make sure the volume is not muted at the Receiver. If the volume is muted, you will not hear the test tone through the speakers.)

Your Receiver may refer to the Surround speakers as the Rear speakers. These are the same.
