Setting Your Speaker System For Multichannel Audio Playback - Pioneer DV-636D Operating Instructions Manual

Setting Your Speaker System for
Multichannel Audio Playback
This player contains a built-in decoder for Dolby Digital
and DTS audio sources as well as 5.1 channel discrete
audio output. Ideally, a 5.1 channel system contains 6
speakers: 2 front speakers, 2 surround speakers, a
center speaker, and a sub woofer. However, as this is
not always the case, accurately setting the [Speaker
Setting] setting to reflect your speaker setup allows the
player's built-in decoder to reroute signals to
compensate for absent speakers.
Make adjustments in the [Speaker Setting] setting in
the Setup screen Audio 2 menu.
Notes
• If you have already completed the Setup Navigator screen
operations, the settings on this page have already been set
by the player.
• If you have not made connections to the AUDIO OUT
(5.1CH) jacks on the rear panel of the player, it is not
necessary to make any changes to this setting.

Notes
• To help identify the speakers being selected, the initials of
the speakers in the speaker system representation on the
right side of the screen will appear in blue.
• When [On] is selected for a speaker or pair of speakers,
the icons for those speakers turn yellow in the speaker
system representation on the right side of the screen.
• If [Off] is selected for both [Center Speaker] and
[Surround Speaker], [Sub-woofer] is automatically set to
[Off].
• When the sub woofer is [On], the low range components
of the center and surround signals will be mixed in the LFE
signal and output from the SUB WOOFER jack.
• When the sub woofer is [Off], the low range components
of the center and surround signals will be mixed in the L
and R signals and output from the front speakers.
• Speakers in this menu setting can also be turned on and
off using CENTER, SURROUND, and SUB WOOFER on
the front panel. However, these buttons do not work when
the "GUI" indicator is lit.
