Setting Your Speaker System
for Multichannel Audio
Playback
This player contains a built-in decoder for Dolby Digital
sources as well as 5.1 channel discrete audio output that
can be used to make connections to an amplifier or
receiver with the corresponding inputs. 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 the [Speaker Setting] 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 Use the cursor buttons (2/3) to select the
speaker.
Every time the cursor button is pressed, the
selected speaker changes in the following order.
2 Use the cursor button (∞) to move the cursor
down to the speaker bar and use the cursor
buttons (2/3) 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.
