sound according to the playback and
connection conditions.
Select “AUDIO SETUP” in the Setup
Display. For details on using the display, see

COAXIAL) jack only when “DOLBY
DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” and

difficult to hear. This function affects the
output to the centre speaker that is connected
to 5.1CH OUTPUT.

Switches the mixing down methods when
you play a DVD on which rear signal
components such as LS, RS, or S are
recorded in Dolby Digital format. For details
on the rear signal components, see

function affects the output of the following
jacks:

— DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or
COAXICAL) jack when “DOLBY
DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” (page 74).
