Downmix

Since most DVD discs feature Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtracks, you
will need to use the downmix options. You have the following setup options:

LT/RT: If you set to LT/RT, a mixed signal of the surround signal will be pro-
duced on the left and right output. The left output signal consists of the front
left signal plus centre and the sum signal of the left and right signal of the
surround speakers. The right output signal consists of the front right signal
plus subwoofer plus the difference signal of the left and right signal of the
surround speakers. This setting should be used only with Dolby Pro Logic
receivers capable of decoding this signal type.

Stereo: If you plan to use the stereo analogue outputs for a connection to
a TV or receiver, you must enable this setting to downmix the 5.1 channel
soundtracks of most DVD movies to a stereo format. If you set to stereo,
the left signal consists of the front left signal plus surround left signal and
sum signal of the centre and subwoofer. The right signal consists of the
front right signal plus surround right signal and sum signal of the centre and
subwoofer. This setting should be used for most televisions and stereo
audio equipment.

Dynamic range

In this menu you can set the dynamic range. This option is sometimes
called “midnight mode”. The Dynamic Range Compression aims to make
watching a movie at low volumes more enjoyable by boosting the quieter
sounds while suppressing the louder sounds. Use the buttons

C

and

D

to adjust this mode to “Full”, “1/2” or “Off”. Confirm your selection

by pressing “ENTER” on your remote control.
