Setting Your Speaker System for Multichannel Audio Playback

This player contains a built-in decoder for Dolby Digital sources as well as 5.1 channel discrete audio output that can be used to make connections to an amplifier or receiver with the corresponding inputs. Ideally, a

5.1channel system contains 6 speakers: 2 front speakers, 2 surround speakers, a center speaker, and a sub woofer. However, as this is not always the case, accurately setting the [Speaker Setting] setting to reflect your speaker setup allows the player’s built-in decoder to reroute signals to compensate for absent speakers.

Make adjustments in the [Speaker Setting] setting in the Setup screen Audio 2 menu.

Notes

If you have already completed the Setup Navigator screen operations, the settings on this page have already been set by the player.

If you have not made connections to the 5.1 CH OUT jacks on the rear panel of the player, it is not necessary to make any changes to this setting.

1 Use the cursor buttons (2/3) to select the speaker.

Every time the cursor button is pressed, the selected speaker changes in the following order.

Notes

To help identify the speakers being selected, the initials of the speakers in the speaker system representation on the right side of the screen will appear in blue.

When “On” is selected for a speaker or pair of speakers, the icons for those speakers turn yellow in the speaker system representation on the right side of the screen.

If “Off” is selected for both [Center Speaker] and [Surround Speaker], [Sub-woofer] is automatically set to “Off”.

When the sub woofer is “On”, the low range components of the center and surround signals will be mixed in the LFE signal and output from the SUB WOOFER jack.

When the sub woofer is “Off”, the low range components of the center and surround signals will be mixed in the L and R signals and output from the front speakers.

About source audio output

When the source input mode has been switched between the 5.1 CH and 2 CH mode settings using the [Audio Out] setting in the Setup screen Audio 2 menu or by pressing 5.1 CH MODE on the front panel, audio output for each source will be as shown on the following table.

*1: When in karaoke mode, the output specifications are the same as for 2ch mode.

*2: When in karaoke mode, the digital output is muted.

*3: Depending on the setting in the audio menu.
