Using the Surround Sound Mixer
Unlike a stereo stream that carries only two audio channels, Surround
Sound has five separate audio channels encoded into one file which is
delivered to five speakers and one sub-woofer.
The Surround Sound Mixer has all the controls to position sounds
around the listener, outputting audio through the 5.1 configuration of
multiple speakers. You can also use this mixer to adjust the volume for
stereo files, making it sound as if the audio moves from one speaker to
another.
Mixing Surround Sound
All audio channels in Surround Sound have a set of similar controls that
you will find in the stereo configuration of this panel, plus a few more
specific controls.
• Six-channel VU Meter — Front Left, Front Right, Center, Sub-
woofer, Surround Left, Surround Right.
• Center — Controls the amount of output sound from the center
speaker.
• Sub-woofer — Controls the amount of low-frequency sound
output.
To use Surround Sound mode
