Understanding the Multi-Channel Surround Displays Playing Discs Source sound displays The letters (L, C, R, etc.) indicate the source sound. The boxes around the letters vary to show how the system downmixes the source sound (based on the speaker settings). When using music sound modes like HALL, the system adds reverberation based on the source sound. Although the table below shows almost all of the configurations available from multichannel surround signals, the ones marked "✩" are the most common. Recording Format (Front/ Rear) 1/0 Input Channel Source Sound and Output Channel Display DOLBY DIGITAL [1/0] DTS [1/0] 2/0* DOLBY DIGITAL [2/0] DTS [2/0] DOLBY DIGITAL [3/0] 3/0 DTS [3/0] DOLBY DIGITAL [2/1] 2/1 DTS [2/1] DOLBY DIGITAL [3/1] 3/1 DTS [3/1] 2/2 3/2 2/0** PCM DOLBY DIGITAL [2/2] DTS [2/2] ✩ DOLBY DIGITAL [3/2] ✩ DTS [3/2] ✩ DOLBY DIGITAL [2/0] ✩ PCM XX kHz * Signals with Dolby surround encoded flag OFF ** Signals with Dolby surround encoded flag ON Notes • The system performs Pro Logic decoding and the display conforms to 2/0** when using the following movie sound modes with 2/0** or STEREO PCM format signals. (C. STUDIO A, B, C, V. MULTI. D.) • When using music sound modes like HALL with standard audio formats, like PCM, the system creates rear signals from the front L and R signals. However, a center speaker signal is not created. In this case, sound is output from the rear speakers, but output channel indicators for the rear speakers do not light. 24
