Routes all soloed channels to the center channel. If no center channel is present, the signal is distributed equally from the soloed channels to the left and right speakers.

Listen to Surround Channels on Front Channels

Solos all surround channels, including the side channels, and routes or downmixes them to the front speakers.

Activate/Deactivate Low-Pass Filter

Activates/Deactivates the low-pass filter that is applied to the LFE channel.

Activate/Deactivate Lt/Rt Matrix Encoding

Activates/Deactivates Lt/Rt matrix encoding when downmixing a 5.1 signal to stereo. If this option is activated, the surround channels are matrix encoded to the L/R channels, in accordance with Dolby Pro Logic II specifications.

Apply 90 Degree Phase Shift to Surround Channels allows you to apply an additional 90° phase shift to the surround channels before encoding them with the front channel signals.

Note

• Activate/Deactivate Lt/Rt Matrix Encoding and Apply 90 Degree Phase Shift to Surround Channels are only available for 5.1 channels that are routed to a stereo bus.

• Full Dolby Pro Logic II compliance requires Lt/Rt encoding with a 90° phase shift of the surround channels.

• Activating Lt/Rt encoding automatically sets the Surround level to -1.2 dB, according to Dolby Pro Logic II specifications. However, you can still modify this value manually.

• Applying phase shift introduces a latency of 512 samples.
