Basic Playback

Selecting a Sound Mode

To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the set up procedures described in “Setting Up for Surround Sound” (starting on page 27) before using the sound modes. This is particularly important when using the 2(Dolby) Digital or DTS sources. When using the sound modes, using SPEAKERS A will give the best results. If you use SPEAKERS B, the sound will be down mixed to the two front B speakers and the surround sound effect will be lost.
