When set to PCM Playback, playback is optimized for standard audio CDs. You can also play DTS CDs, however you may notice some noise when a DTS CD starts playing. Also, speakers which were set to Small in the Speaker Installation screen are automatically set to Large. This is not a malfunction.

When set to DTS CD Playback, playback is optimized for DTS CDs. In this mode you cannot play standard audio CDs through the analog outputs. Change the setting back to PCM Playback to play standard CDs.

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

•When set to 5.1 Channel, only the front left/right channels are output from the AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks. Change to

2 Channel if you want to listen to downmixed stereo audio (for example, because you are listening through the TV’s built-in speakers).

•When set to 5.1 Channel there is no digital output when playing DVD-Audio.

•If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio is 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.
