2.10 MENU
Press MENU to access the DVD’s menu (usually the
“root” menu) if it is available.

Press TITLE to access the DVD’s “Title” menu (only

2.12 SOUND MODE
Press the SOUND MODE key to change the processing
applied to sound tracks and delivered to the multi-
channel analogue outputs. A two channel (stereo) sound
track (e.g. from a CD) can be changed from stereo to
either Dolby Pro Logic II or Virtual Surround. The sound
mode will be displayed briefly, only on the front panel VF
display, as “STEREO”, “V SURR” or “DOLBY PLII”.
Multi-channel sound tracks (Dolby Digital or DTS) can be
played back in Multi-channel (default), Virtual Surround
or stereo.
The table below summarizes the Sound Mode options
and displays for various types of sound track. Once one
of the three Sound Mode options has been selected, the
setting is memorized until it is changed again. Thus if
option 1 (DTS5.1) were chosen when playing a DTS
sound track, the next CD would also be played back with
option 1 – Dolby Pro Logic II processing. The Sound
Mode can also be changed via the Audio Setup “Analog
Output” menu - see page 18 for more details of the
processing options.

1. Dolby Pro Logic II: processes 2-channel sound
tracks to produce multi-channel sound from five
loudspeakers (5.0).
1. Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1:
six channel digital
sound recordings are decoded to produce multi-channel
surround sound from five loudspeakers plus a sub-
woofer (5.1).
2. Virtual Surround:
the original sound track
(whether 2.0 or 5.1) is processed to drive two
loudspeakers and produce a simulated surround effect.
3. Stereo:
original 2-channel sound tracks are played

sound tracks are mixed down to stereo via the Front Left
and Right outputs.
Note: The Sound Mode setting does not affect the
digital audio outputs.
