Surround Mode Settings
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front
speakers, you can enjoy surround sound
effects by using sound imaging to create
virtual rear speakers from the sound of the
front speakers (L: left, R: right) without using
actual rear speakers.
If the player is set up to output the signal from
the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack, the
surround effect will only be heard when
“DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” in
“AUDIO SETUP”
(page 58).
