[Important]
The method for specifying surround sound has changed as of Sofdec2 Encoding Wizard Ver.1.06.00.
The method of specifying six separate monaural materials is no longer supported in Sofdec2 Encoding Wizard.
When encoding surround sound, specify a six channel of material file.
You can still specify six monaural materials in the console version of the encoding tool.


On this page, select the audio materials for the Sofdec2 data.
