Dual Mono setting and playback
The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital or homemade discs that have dual mono
software encoded in them. Dual mono software usually is used to put two different mono soundtracks, that you can
listen to together or separately, on one DVD. With this setting you can choose which dual mono setting you want to
listen to. Remember this setting is only applicable if you are using Dolby Digital software with dual mono and want
to isolate one of the channels therein.
1 Press the RETURN button for more
than three seconds to put the
receiver in DUAL MONO mode.
Hold down the RETURN button to cycle through the dif-
ferent DUAL MONO settings. When you find the one you
want release the button. The L (CH1) and R (CH2) indica-
tors in the display light to indicate the playback channel.
The different settings are: DUAL CH1, where you only
hear channel 1; DUAL CH2, where you only hear channel
2; and DUAL CH1/CH2, where you hear both channels,
but independently from different speakers.
Memo:
• The default setting is DUAL CH1.
• You can only use this function with Dolby Digital
sources that have this encoding.
Using Headphones
1 Plug headphones into the PHONES
jack on the front of the receiver.
No sound will be audible from the speakers when head-
phones are plugged in except in MULTI CH IN mode or
when using the pre-outs. In MULTI CH IN mode the sub-
woofer will be audible even if the headphones are
plugged in.
Memo:
• All SURROUND modes will be downmixed to 2 chan-
nels.
• If you’re listening to a 2 channel source there will be no
matrix decoding (i.e. you will not be able to get surround
sound decoding).
• For MULTI CH IN and SACD DIRECT modes, only the
FRONT L and R channels can be heard.
