If you've selected DTS > PCM in DTS Out on
page 35 or 2 Channel in Audio Output Mode on
page 41, you can choose the way the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio. Stereo will
downmix the DTS signal to 2-channel stereo,
whereas Lt/Rt will downmix to a 2-channel
signal compatible with Dolby surround matrix
decoders. (This allows you to hear surround
sound if your AV receiver or amplifier has Dolby
Pro Logic capability.)

using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front,
surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this

stereo outs, set to 2 Channel.

Note
• Even if you set Audio Output Mode to 5.1
Channel, you'll only get sound from all
speakers when playing a 5.1 channel multi-
channel disc.
• When set to 5.1 Channel, only the front
left/right channels are output from the
AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks. Change to 2
Channel if you want to listen to downmixed
stereo audio (for example, because you are
listening through the TV's built-in
speakers).
• When set to 5.1 Channel there is no digital
output when playing DVD-Audio.
• If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital, DTS
and MPEG audio is mixed down to two
channels so you still hear all the audio
recorded on the disc. With DTS encoded
audio, you can choose how the signal is
downmixed to PCM audio. See DTS
Downmix above to change the downmix
setting.
• Some DVD-Audio discs don't allow down-
mixing of audio. These discs always output
multi-channel audio regardless of the
setting made here.
