Using Advanced Sound Options
5-D Theater
5-D Theater provides clearer and more dynamic sound effects by out-
putting audio signals through the rear channel to simulate the stereo
sound, compared with a standard surround system which provides only
monaural signals to the rear speakers. Press
5-D THEATER
to turn this
feature on/off.
DVD 5.1-Channel Input
Together with a multi-channel decoder or DVD player with 5.1-channel
output, you can feed sound to all five speaker channels. The front L/R,
surround L/R, center speaker channels, and the subwoofer have inde-
pendent signals for enhanced rich sound. The subwoofer channel con-
tains bass sound only and the frequency range is smaller than the other
speaker channels, so it is called 5.1-channel system.
