sound elements (channels) shown below.
Each channel is output from a separate
speaker.
• Front (L)
• Front (R)
• Centre
• Rear (L)
• Rear (R)
• Rear (Monaural): This signal can be either
the Dolby Surround Sound processed
signals or the Dolby Digital sound’s
monaural rear audio signals.
• LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signal
Notes
• If “DTS” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP”
(page 72) the DTS track selection option will not
appear on the screen even if the disc contains DTS
tracks.

will appear as shown above (3/2.1, 2/1), but only
