ROTEL RSDX-02e - Manual (Page 22)

22 RSDX-02e DVD Receiver
NOTE
: DVDs with a DTS soundtrack almost
always have it configured as an option to the
standard matrix Dolby Surround format. To
use DTS, you may have to go to the setup
menus at the beginning of the DVD and se-
lect “DTS 5.1” instead of “Dolby Surround”
or “Dolby Digital 5.1”.
All-Channel Stereo
All-Channel stereo sends a stereo signal to four-
speaker or five-speaker systems.
All-Channel stereo can be selected for
any stereo input, analog or digital.
However, this option only available
for systems with 4 or 6 speakers.
DSP
This mode digital processing to synthesize the
ambience of four different concert venues (LIVE
CLUB, DANCE CLUB, HALL, PAVILION) using
only the front and rear speakers, but not the
center channel speaker.
DSP modes can be selected for any
stereo source input, analog or digital.
Surround Off
Turns off all surround sound processing for 2-
channel stereo. Even if connected, the center
channel and surround speakers are not used.
If the system is configured to route bass sig-
nals from the front speakers to the subwoofer,
this capability remains in effect.
Surround Off can be selected for ANY
input source.
Manually Selecting
Surround Modes
For users who prefer a more active role in setting
surround modes, buttons on the remote and
the front panel provide manual selection of
surround modes that are not automatically de-
tected or, in some cases, to override an auto-
matic setting.
NOTE : These settings are memorized indepen-
dently for each source input and will be used
as a default setting each time that source is
used.

front panel or the S-ON/OFF button on Page

ch stereo) mode.
Selecting a Surround Sound
Mode
P2-F
When the Surround Sound is turned On (see
