38 Speaker Channel Setup
CHANNEL SETUP lets you select a surround sound effect or adjust the
speakers you connected to the Player.
If you connected the Player to a TV only or to a Stereo that is not Dolby
Digital or DTS compatible, adjust the DOWNMIX setting to achieve a
surround sound effect without having six speakers connected to the
Player.
If you connected the Player to a Multichannel Receiver (six-channel) as
described on page 14, adjust the individual speakers.

The following settings are available for each item:
● DOWNMIX: LT/RT, STEREO, VSS, or OFF.
● Choose LT/RT (left/right) if the Player is connected to a
Stereo that has a Dolby Pro Logic decoder.
● Choose STEREO if you connected the Player to a Stereo,
but the Stereo is not Dolby Digital or DTS compatible. The
Player will provide a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound
effect.
● Choose VSS (Virtual Surround Sound) if you connected the
Player to a TV only and want the Player to provide a virtual
surround sound effect.
● Choose OFF to disable all the DOWNMIX or surround
sound effect settings.
● CENTER: Choose ON to hear sound from the center speaker.
To disable sound from the center speaker, choose OFF.
● REAR: Choose ON to hear sound from the rear/surround
speakers. To disable sound from these speakers, choose OFF.
● SUBWOOFER: Choose ON to hear sound from the sub-
woofer. To disable the subwoofer sound, choose OFF.
● CNTR DELAY (center delay): Choose a delay time for the
Center speaker in milliseconds (1-5 milliseconds), or select OFF
for no speaker delay.
● REAR DELAY: Choose a delay time for the Rear/Surround
speakers in milliseconds (3-15 milliseconds in three second incre-
ments), or select OFF for no speaker delay.
● TEST TONE: Select ON to check your speakers. If all the
speakers are connected correctly, you should hear a “hissing”
sound from each speaker during the test. Choose OFF when you
want to stop testing the speakers. (Make sure the volume is not
muted at the Receiver. If the volume is muted, you will not hear
the test tone through the speakers.)
5 Press SYSTEM MENU to remove the menus.

Surround speakers as the Rear
speakers. These are the same.
