Audio Output Mode

• 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 outs, set to
2 Channel
.
Note
•Even if you set
Audio Output Mode
to
5.1
Channel
, you’ll only get sound from all
speakers when playing a 5.1 channel multi-
channel 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. With DTS encoded
audio, you can choose how the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio. See
DTS
Downmix
on page 38 to change the
downmix setting.
• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-
mixing of audio. These discs always output
multi-channel audio regardless of the
setting made here.
