Audio Out
• Default setting:

the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front, surround,
center and subwoofer outs), set this to
5.1
Channel

.
• 2 Channel (Lt/Rt)
Used to specify that DTS multi-channel input
or Dolby Digital multi-channel input is to be
downmixed into a format compatible with the
Dolby Surround matrix format. This option may
be selected to enjoy surround sound when the
player is connected to Dolby Surround-
compatible AV amplifier.
• TruSurround
If you connected your DVD player using only
the stereo analog outputs, you can simulate
surround sound.
Note
• Works with DVD-Video and VCD only.
• The digital audio output is processed by
TruSurround when playing 2 channel Dolby
Digital DVDs or Video CDs with TruSurround. It
is recommended that Audio Out is set to
2
channel (stereo or Lt/Rt)
when connecting
the player to your amp using a coaxial or
optical connection.
• How good the surround effect is varies with the
disc.
• When
TruSurround
is selected, the audio can
be output only for the L/R channels on the
Front.

you’ll only get sound from all speakers when
playing a multi-channel DVD-Audio disc, multi-

made here.
• Change can be made only in the stop mode.
