Multichannel (DVD-Audio Compatible) Mode

If Multichannel (DVD-Audio Compatible) mode is activated for an audio montage, you can choose between various multichannel configurations.

In the Info dialog of the audio montage, select Multichannel (DVD-Audio Compatible). On the Channels pop-up menu, the following multichannel configurations are available:

Left/Right Front (Lf, Rf)

This is used in all surround configurations. These correspond to standard left/right stereo speaker positions in front of the listener.

Center (C)

This is placed in between the Lf/Rf surround speakers.

Low Frequency Effects (LFE)

The LFE channel is connected to a subwoofer and provides low frequency content (normally below 120 Hz). It can be used to provide special low frequency effects like deep rumbles, explosions, etc. For each channel that is routed to the LFE channel, there is a low-pass filter that allows you to extend or lower the low frequency range that is reproduced by the LFE channel.

Surround (S)

This is sometimes referred to as the back surround channel and is normally placed in between the left/right surround channels.

Left/Right Surround (Ls, Rs)

These are placed behind the listening position, mirroring the left/right front speakers.
