The following speaker parameters can be configured:

Size: The speaker size parameter sets bass filtering control for the speakers. The options are:

Large – Bass frequencies are passed to the speakers. The bass frequency is set in the

“Crossover Frequency” option of the “Audio Processing” section of the Setup menu (see page 30

for details).

Small – Bass frequencies are not passed to the speakers to reduce possible distortion. If the

subwoofer is available, bass frequencies are redirected to the subwoofer.

On (for subwoofer only) – Specify that a subwoofer is available.

Off – Speaker for the corresponding position does not exist. Audio for the missing speaker is

redirected to other speakers or discarded if redirection is not possible.

NOTE

The front, surround and surround back speakers are configured as pairs. Changes to the

size of one speaker will automatically change the other speaker of the pair.

Speaker Configuration applies to the multi-channel analog audio outputs only. All digital

bitstream and LPCM outputs are unaffected by these settings.

Down Mix Mode

Down mix is the process of converting multi-channel audio to a lesser number of channels. For

example, converting a 5.1ch source to stereo or converting a 7.1ch source to 5.1ch. Down mixing

allows the audio output from the player to match the exact number of speakers available in your home

theater.

The current down mix mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the speaker placement illustration.

To change the audio down mix setting, press the

ENTER button while the cursor is over the “Down Mix”

option. The following down mix modes are available:

LT/RT – Left Total/Right Total. The center and surround channels are mixed into the two front

channels according to the LT/RT matrix. A Dolby Pro Logic receiver will decode the two-

channel audio into surround audio.

Stereo - This mode down-mixes multi-channel audio to 2-channel stereo output. For original

stereo content the output will not change. For original multi-channel content the surround and

center channels will be mixed with the left and right front channels. Recommended for use with

TV sets or stereo receiver/amplifiers.

5.1Ch – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output

channels depends on the disc. If the source content has more channels, the surround back

channels will be mixed into the surround channels.

7.1Ch – This mode enables 7.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output

channels depends on the disc. For 6.1ch contents, the left and right surround back speakers

will both output the same surround back audio channel.

Test Tone

Test tone is a special group of artificially-created sounds that are used to test your audio speaker system and

help to identify any wiring faults. By default the Test Tone is set to “Off”, with the status displayed in the lower

left corner of the screen.
