ENGLISH
Setting Your Speaker System
for Multichannel Audio Playback
This player contains a built-in decoder for Dolby Digital, DTS
and MPEG audio sources as well as 5.1 channel discrete
audio output. 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.

surround [RS] speakers can each be set to [Large] ,
[Small] or [Off] . Set a speaker to Large if the main
speaker cone is 120mm (4 3/4”) or more; set to [Small] if
the it’s less than 120mm (4 3/4”). Note that the [LS] and
[RS] speakers cannot be set independently.
The subwoofer ( SW ) can only be set to On or Off .

Note: If your subwoofer is placed beyond the adjustment
range (
L/R – 6.5 (2) ), set to the nearest setting possible.
Surround sound cohesion should not be affected very
much.
