Please keep in mind that not all DVD discs provide
multichannel surround sound. Some DVDs contain stereo
sound only.
If the equipment you connected offers digital surround
sound (Dolby Digital or DTS) you need to connect the
digital output of the equipment to IN DIGITAL or
IN OPTICAL on the DVD recorder system to appreciate
the digital surround sound (see “Connecting additional
audio equipment”).
Please keep in mind that recording from a digital input
(IN DIGITAL and IN OPTICAL) is not possible for
copyright reasons. Therefore, recording of digital surround
sound is not possible. Recording is possible only from the
inputs EXT-1 TO TV-I/O, EXT-2 AUX I/O, CAM 1 and
CAM 2 and is in stereo.
For Mono signals no surround sound will be available on
the rear (surround) speakers.
For optimal surround sound experience you can set the
distance between the speakers and your preferred listening
position. See “Speaker setup” on page 55. See “Speaker
setup” on page 55.
