Setting Your Speaker System
for Multichannel Audio
Playback
This player player contains a built-in decoder for Dolby
Digital and DTS audio sources as well as 5.1 channel
discrete audio output. Ideally, a 5.1 channel 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
[Speaker 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 Move the cursor control joystick right or left to
select the speaker.
Every time the cursor button is pressed, the
selected speaker changes in the following order.

2 Move the cursor control joystick down to the
speaker bar and then move right or left to
select “On” or “Off” corresponding to
whether the selected speaker is present in
your system or not, respectively.
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.
• Speakers in this menu setting can also be turned on and off
using CENTER, SURROUND, and SUB WOOFER on the front
panel. However, these buttons do not work when the GUI
indicator is lit.
