Speaker Channel Setup - Philips DVD580MT99 Owner's Manual

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.
