5.1 • Notice the speakers are numbered 1, 3, 2, 5, 4, and 6. Speakers 1 and 2 are Front L/R, speaker 3 is Front Center, speaker 4 is the Subwoofer, and speakers 5 and 6 are Rear L/R. Divergence • This control continuously varies the center image from dead-center (speaker 3) to a phantom-center (equally split between speakers 1 and 2). • With a Divergence setting of "0" the centerpanned channel is routed to the center speaker only (speaker 3). • With a Divergence setting of "100" the centerpanned channel is routed equally to the front left and right speakers (speakers 1 and 2). Low Frequency Effect • This control varies the channel send level to the subwoofer (speaker 4). • This is the only control over channel levels to the subwoofer (speaker 4). • The pan grid has no effect on this adjustment. • With this control set to OFF there is no send level to the subwoofer. • Unity gain is achieved when this control is set to "0.0". 6.1 • Notice the speakers are numbered 1, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7, and 6. Speakers 1 and 2 are Front L/R, speaker 3 is Front Center, speaker 4 is the Subwoofer, speakers 5 and 6 are Rear L/R, and speaker 7 is Rear Center. Divergence • This control continuously varies the center image from dead-center (speaker 3) to a phantom-center (equally split between speakers 1 and 2). • With a Divergence setting of "0" the centerpanned channel is routed to the center speaker only (speaker 3). • With a Divergence setting of "100" the centerpanned channel is routed equally to the front left and right speakers (speakers 1 and 2). • Since there is a rear center channel in 6.1 surround mode, the Rear Divergence is not adjustable and is fixed at "0." Low Frequency Effect • This control varies the channel send level to the subwoofer (speaker 4). • This is the only control over channel levels to the subwoofer (speaker 4). • The pan grid has no effect on this adjustment. • With this control set to OFF there is no send level to the subwoofer. • Unity gain is achieved when this control is set to "0.0". 7.1 (SDDS) • SDDS stands for Sony Dynamic Digital Sound, which is designed for motion picture sound and optically printed on digital film. • Notice the speakers are numbered 1, 7, 3, 8, 2, 5, 4, and 6. Speakers 1 and 2 are Front L/R, speaker 3 is Front Center, speaker 4 is the Subwoofer, speakers 5 and 6 are Rear L/R, and speakers 7 and 8 are Front L/R Center. Divergence • This control continuously varies the center image from dead-center (speaker 3) to a phantom-center (equally split between speakers 1 and 2). • With a Divergence setting of "0" the center- panned channel is routed to the center speaker only (speaker 3). • With a Divergence setting of "100" the center- panned channel is routed equally to the front left and right speakers (speakers 1 and 2). • Note: Speakers 7 and 8 are unaffected by the Divergence control. Low Frequency Effect • This control varies the channel send level to the subwoofer (speaker 4). • This is the only control over channel levels to the subwoofer (speaker 4). • The pan grid has no effect on this adjustment. • With this control set to OFF there is no send level to the subwoofer. • Unity gain is achieved when this control is set to "0.0".

5.1
Notice the speakers are numbered 1, 3, 2, 5, 4,
and 6. Speakers 1 and 2 are Front L/R, speaker 3
is Front Center, speaker 4 is the Subwoofer, and
speakers 5 and 6 are Rear L/R.
Divergence
This control continuously varies the center image
from dead-center (speaker 3) to a phantom-center
(equally split between speakers 1 and 2).
With a Divergence setting of “0” the center-
panned channel is routed to the center speaker
only (speaker 3).
With a Divergence setting of “100” the center-
panned channel is routed equally to the front left
and right speakers (speakers 1 and 2).
Low Frequency Effect
This control varies the channel send level to the
subwoofer (speaker 4).
This is the only control over channel levels to the
subwoofer (speaker 4).
The pan grid has no effect on this adjustment.
With this control set to OFF there is no send level to
the subwoofer.
Unity gain is achieved when this control is set to “0.0”.
6.1
Notice the speakers are numbered 1, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7,
and 6. Speakers 1 and 2 are Front L/R, speaker 3
is Front Center, speaker 4 is the Subwoofer,
speakers 5 and 6 are Rear L/R, and speaker 7 is
Rear Center.
Divergence
This control continuously varies the center image
from dead-center (speaker 3) to a phantom-center
(equally split between speakers 1 and 2).
With a Divergence setting of “0” the center-
panned channel is routed to the center speaker
only (speaker 3).
With a Divergence setting of “100” the center-
panned channel is routed equally to the front left
and right speakers (speakers 1 and 2).
Since there is a rear center channel in 6.1
surround mode, the Rear Divergence is not
adjustable and is fixed at “0.”
Low Frequency Effect
This control varies the channel send level to the
subwoofer (speaker 4).
This is the only control over channel levels to the
subwoofer (speaker 4).
The pan grid has no effect on this adjustment.
With this control set to OFF there is no send level to
the subwoofer.
Unity gain is achieved when this control is set to “0.0”.

4, and 6. Speakers 1 and 2 are Front L/R, speaker
3 is Front Center, speaker 4 is the Subwoofer,
speakers 5 and 6 are Rear L/R, and speakers 7
and 8 are Front L/R Center.
Divergence
This control continuously varies the center image
from dead-center (speaker 3) to a phantom-center
(equally split between speakers 1 and 2).
With a Divergence setting of “0” the center-
panned channel is routed to the center speaker
only (speaker 3).
With a Divergence setting of “100” the center-
panned channel is routed equally to the front left
and right speakers (speakers 1 and 2).
Note:
Speakers 7 and 8 are unaffected by the
Divergence control.
Low Frequency Effect

subwoofer (speaker 4).
This is the only control over channel levels to the
subwoofer (speaker 4).
The pan grid has no effect on this adjustment.
With this control set to OFF there is no send level
to the subwoofer.
