When canceling the surround mode for normal 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 2 CH downmix mode,
select the desired surround mode with using the MULTI
CONTROL knob or DSP MODE UP/DOWN (
/ ) buttons.
2CH downmix mode
• This mode allows the multi-channel signals encoded in DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG format to be mixed down into
2 front channels and to be reproduced through only two front speakers or through headphones.
• When the HEADPHONE SELECTOR button is set to the speaker off mode to listen with headphones, if the Dolby
Headphone off mode is selected while playing the digital signals from DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG sources, it will
enter the 2CH downmix mode automatically.
To cancel the 2CH downmix mode, select the desired Dolby Headphone mode with pressing the DOLBY
HEADPHONE button.(For details, refer to “To listen in a Dolby Headphone mode” on page 31.)
