Speaker Systems
You can enjoy virtual surround sound with Dolby Digital 5.1 DVD movies using a
stereo speaker system by enabling the CMSS feature. Alternatively, you can
perform Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS pass-through via SPDIF (Optical Out) to a 5.1
speaker system with a built-in Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS decoder (for example,
Creative Inspire 5700 Speakers) to enjoy true surround sound experience. This is
only available in Digital Only mode.
