Down Mix
You can get the optimum stereo mix signals from DVD discs recorded with Dolby
Digital surround multichannel audio, depending on your audio system by selecting
DOWN MIX correctly.
You can change DOWN MIX setting only when playing back a DVD disc recorded
with Dolby Digital surround multichannel audio.
1. Press ON SCREEN during playback.
The on-screen display appears.
2. Move to “DOWN MIX” using
/
.
3. Select from the following selections.
Lt/Rt: If you monitor the player’s 2-channel audio output signals via an
amplifier with built-in Dolby Pro Logic.
Lo/Ro:If you monitor the player’s 2-channel audio output signals via a TV, an
amplifier with no built-in Dolby Pro Logic, or the player’s headphone
jack. Or if you record DVD audio to a cassette tape, MD, etc.
OFF: If you monitor the player’s 5.1-channel audio output signals via an
amplifier equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel inputs.
* Output signal from DIGITAL OUT
When setting “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” in the PREFERENCE on-screen
display to “PCM ONLY” (see “Selecting Preferences” on page 53”), the
same type of the signal as the analog 2 CH outputs is fed from the DIGITAL
OUT. If you use DIGITAL OUT, select “DOWN MIX” to “Lt/Rt” or “L0/R0”
according to the condition described above.
* If setting “DOWN MIX” to “OFF” while setting “CENTER SPEAKER” and
“SURROUND SPEAKER” in the PREFERENCE on-screen display to “NONE”,
the same signal is output as setting to “Lt/Rt”. (see “Selecting Preferences”
on page 53”)
* If “DOWN MIX” is not correctly selected, you may have a trouble in playing
back a DVD disc recorded with the Dolby Digital surround multichannel
audio as follows.
• Monitoring 2-channel audio with setting “DOWN MIX” to “OFF”: Some
material (such as dialog in a movie) may not be played back. (because
channels except front L and R are not played back.)
• Monitoring 5.1-channel audio with setting “DOWN MIX” to “Lt/Rt” or “L0/
R0”: You cannot hear the sound from speakers except the front L and R.
(because all sounds are mixed into front L and R.)
So if you connect both a Dolby Digital surround system and TV to the player
and use one of them depending on the situation, you must be careful to set
DOWN MIX correctly according to the playback system when playing back a
Dolby Digital 5.1-channel source.
To turn off the on-screen display:
Press ON SCREEN.
