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.
