About audio signals

Audio signals recorded in a disc contain the
sound elements (channels) shown below.
Each channel is output from a separate
speaker.
• Front (L)
• Front (R)
• Center
• Rear (L)
• Rear (R)
• Rear (Monaural): This signal can be either

the Dolby Surround Sound processed
signals or the Dolby Digital sound’s
monaural rear audio signals.

• LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signal

Note

If “DTS” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP”
(page 58) the DTS track selection option will not
appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS
tracks.

Surround Mode Settings

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front
speakers, you can enjoy surround sound
effects by using sound imaging to create
virtual rear speakers from the sound of the
front speakers (L: left, R: right) without using
actual rear speakers.
If the player is set up to output the signal from
the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack, the
surround effect will only be heard when
“DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” in
“AUDIO SETUP”
(page 58).
