To cancel the surround mode for stereo operation
• Depending on the signal format which is being input, either the stereo
mode or the 2CH downmix mode is selected.
• To cancel either the stereo mode or the 2CH downmix mode, select
the surround mode with using the MULTI CONTROL knob on the front
panel or the SURROUND MODE UP/DOWN ( >/< ) buttons on the
remote control.
2CH downmix mode
• This mode allows the multi-channel signals encoded in DTS or Dolby Digital format to be mixed down into 2 front channels and
to be reproduced through only two front speakers or through headphones.
• When the SPEAKER button is set to off to listen with headphones, if the STEREO button is pressed while playing the multi-
channel digital signals from DTS or Dolby Digital sources, it will enter the 2CH downmix mode automatically.
• To cancel the 2CH downmix mode, select the desired Dolby Headphone mode with using the MULTI CONTROL knob on the
front panel or the SURROUND MODE UP/DOWN ( >/< ) buttons on the remote control.
• The Dolby Headphone function simulates 5.1 channel surround sound, which allows you to enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound
through 2 channel headphones, just like listening from 5.1 channel speakers.
Notes :
• Only when the SPEAKER button is set to off, the Dolby Headphone mode can be selected.
• When playing the 96 kHz PCM(2 channel) digital signals, only the stereo mode can be selected.
• While listening with headphones, select the desired Dolby Headphone mode.
• Each time the MULTI CONTROL knob is rotated or the SURROUND
MODE UP/DOWN ( >/< ) buttons are pressed, the mode changes as
follows :
DH 1 : This simulates the soundfield as if you were in a relatively small room
with less reverberations.
DH 2 : This simulates the soundfield as if you were in a typical listening room
with moderate reverberations.
DH 3 : This simulates the soundfield as if you were in a large space like
theater.
• Depending on the kind of digital input signal or/and the selected
surround mode, the corresponding parameter mode is displayed
for several seconds as follows:
* “NIGHT” (Night mode) :
Selectable only while playing digital signals from Dolby Digital or DTS
source.
