If a DTS / Dolby Digital input is detected the Surround menu
options instantly change - Surround mode is not available. (The
DVD output must be labeled “DTS” or “Dolby Digital”). Ensure that
the Digital Audio option in the SOUND menu is set to the correct
AV input (see pages 17 and 40). A message displayed in the
centre of the screen shows whether the signal is DTS or Dolby
Digital, and gives a code indicating which channels are detected
(see table to the right). Subwoofer output is not listed; if a
subwoofer channels is detected then its contents are output.
The volume adjustment sets the overall Surround output
volume.
When a DTS/ Dolby Digital input is not detected this
option is shown. Choose between PRO LOGIC and
SIMULATED.
The mode chosen here dictates the next menu option.
