NOTES:
The minimum allowable configuration of the SSP 7.1 is 2.0 because the left and right
•
front speakers are always on. In the absence of a center channel, 1/0.0 and 1/0.1
encoded channels are output equally to both front channels.
7.0, 7.0 (with no center channel), 7.1, and 7.1 (with no center channel) are valid output
•
speaker configurations. However, standard DVD audio sources cannot be encoded as
2/4.0, 2/4.1, 3/4.0, or 3/4.1.
Blu-ray DVD players output audio from Blu-ray DVDs, which can carry 7.1 or more
•
discrete encoded channels. However, that audio can be transmitted only via the HDMI
output and can be processed only by an AV receiver that supports HDMI connections.
The Blu-ray player should support S/PDIF connections that output Dolby Digital and
DTS multichannel source formats, which are also embedded in the Blu-ray DVD and
can be used to feed into the SSP 7.1 via a TOSLINK or coaxial connection.
