Tips
• The receiver lets you apply the last selected sound
field to a program source whenever it is selected
(Sound Field Link). For example, if you listen to
CD with “JAZZ CLUB” as the sound field, change
to a different program source, then return to CD,
“JAZZ CLUB” will be applied again.
• You can identify the encoding format of program
sofware by looking at its packaging.
Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the
logo, and Dolby Surround encoded programs are
labeled with the logo.
• When sound signals with a sampling frequency of
96 kHz are input, the sound signals are output in
stereo automatically, and the sound field is turned
off.
Using only the front
speakers (2 Channel Stereo)
Press 2CH.
“2CH STEREO” appears in the display.
This mode outputs the sound from the front left
and right speakers only. Standard 2 channel
(stereo) sources completely bypass the sound
field processing. Multi channel surround
formats are downmixed to 2 channel.
Note
No sound is output from the sub woofer when “2CH
STEREO” is selected. To listen to 2 channel (stereo)
sources using the front left and right speakers and a
sub woofer, press A. DEC to select “AUTO
DECODING”.
Enjoying stereo sound in
multi channel (Dolby Pro
Logic

The receiver can reproduce the stereo sound in
multi channel through Dolby Pro Logic . You
can activate the decoder using the
CUSTOMIZE menu. For details, see page 44.
