About DVD encoding and playback of Surround EX (6.1 Channel) movies The Surround EX System used in movie theaters employs a matrix system to produce 6.1 channels from a 5.1 channel film soundtrack. The matrix system reproduces the sountrack as intended by the filmmaker. All DVD software encoded with Dolby Digital, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, and DTS-ES Discreet 6.1 includes the 5.1 channel soundtrack designed for use in movie theaters. Therefore it is possible to change the soundtrack to the one designed for use in movie theaters. To enjoy 6.1 channel surround sound ("VIRTUAL MATRIX 6.1" playback function) You can experience 6.1 channel surround sound as if you are in a real theater. • If you have a 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 5.0, 5.1 channel speaker system Use the "VIRTUAL MATRIX 6.1" playback function. To effectively enjoy "VIRTUAL MATRIX 6.1" playback, use the 6.1CH DECODING function when you select "CINEMA STUDIO EX A-C" or "SEMI C.STUDIO EX A-C". The sound characteristics of CINEMA STUDIO and the 3D sound imaging create a virtual surround back speaker, and you can experience the surround effect as if you are in a real theater. You can select AUTO/ON/OFF using the 6.1CH DECODING button. • If you have a 6.1 channel speaker system When "NORMAL SURROUND" is selected, set 6.1CH DECODING to "ON". 34
