20 OPERATION
Analog output
Select Stereo, Surround or 3D Sound. Factory setting is
Stereo.
Surround : Select this setting when using equipment
with a Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder. In
this setting the 5.1 audio channels (Dolby
Digital, MPEG-2) are downmixed to a Dolby
Surround-compatible 2-channel output.
3D Sound : In a setup without rear speakers (analog
stereo output), this option remixes the six
channels of digital multichannel (Dolby
Digital, MPEG-2) into a two speaker output,
while retaining the original audio
information.
The result is the listening sensation of being
surrounded by multiple speakers.
