Setting the Audio 2 Options
■ Audio Out
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].
■ Speaker Setting
You only need to make this setting if you connected this player
to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs.
Follow the on-screen displays to describe which speakers are
in your system and their sizes and positions.
Set the size of your speakers in the Size screen. The front left/
right (L/R) speakers have a fixed setting of [Large]. The center
(C), left surround (LS) and right surround (RS) speakers can
each be set to [Large], [Small] or [Off]. Set a speaker to
[Large] if the main speaker cone is 12 cm or more; set to
[Small] if the it’s less than 12 cm. Note that the LS and RS
speakers cannot be set independently.
The subwoofer (SW) can only be set to [On] or [Off].
The graphic on the right of the screen represents your speaker
setup, with the currently selected speaker’s name highlighted
in blue, and the speakers set to [On] highlighted in yellow.
Set the distance from your main listening position to each
speaker in the [Distance] screen. The distance setting for any
speaker that was set to [Off] in the [Size] screen will be grayed
out. For the other speakers, enter the distance to the nearest
0.1m (10cm). You can set the distance for the L/R speakers
between 0.3m and 9m. Note that you must set the C and SW
speakers within 2m of the L/R setting. The LS and RS
speakers must be set within –6m and +2m of the L/R setting.
The graphic on the right of the screen represents your speaker
setup, with the currently selected speaker’s name highlighted
in blue, and the speakers set to [On] highlighted in yellow.
Settings: 2 Channel (Factory setting)
5.1 Channel
Notes
• Even if you set [Audio Out] to [5.1 Channel], you’ll only get sound
from all speakers when playing a multi-channel DVD-Audio disc,
SACD or Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG encoded DVD disc.
• 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.

Notes
• When the subwoofer (SW) is set to on, the LFE (low frequency
effect) signals are input from the subwoofer.
• When listening to a DVD audio source, the C, LS, and RS
speakers will automatically be set to the [Large] size setting.
However, the sound will not be affected by the change. Listening
to another source will return the speakers to their original
settings.
• For DVD-Audio only, if the C, LS, or RS speakers is set to [Off],
the audio is automatically downmixed to stereo unless the DVD
audio software does not permit down mixing.
• The distance setting is unavailable for SACD discs.
Adjusting Audio and Video Settings
■ SACD Playback
Expert
SACD discs can be divided up into several different areas
stereo audio, 5.1 channel audio, and, (for hybrid SACDs),
standard CD audio. The SACD Playback setting enables you
to select which area of the disc you want to play.
Note
If you select an area that isn’t on the disc loaded, a different area of
the disc will play. For example, if you choose standard CD audio but
the disc loaded is not a hybrid SACD, the stereo audio will play.
Settings: 2ch Area (Factory setting)
Playback of the 2 channel area.
Multi-ch Area
Playback of the multi-channel area.
Set Audio Out to 5.1 Channel for multi-channel
playback (see below).
