Tip

•If you’re playing a high signal level source which is producing unpleasant distortion from the speakers, you can reduce the signal level of the auxiliary source (connected to the TV or LINE 1 analog inputs) by switching on the attenuator. See Optional system settings on page 65 to do this.

Recording mode

The Recording mode allows you to make surround-compatible analog recordings from the LINE 1 (OUT) jacks. Dolby multichannel sources will be downmixed to stereo for improved playback with systems that can provide matrix-decoding (like Dolby Pro Logic).

1	Press SOUND.
2	Use the	(cursor left/right) buttons
to select ‘Rec Mode?’.
3	Press ENTER.
4	Use the	(cursor up/down) buttons

to select ‘R.Mode On’ or ‘R.Mode Off’.

•R.Mode On – A surround-compatible downmix (left-total/right-total, or Lt/Rt) of Dolby multichannel sources is output, (suitable for Dolby Surround Pro Logic or other matrix decoding).

•R.Mode Off – A simple stereo downmix (left-only/right-only, or Lo/Ro) is output (suitable for playback on a two-channel stereo system or on headphones).

Note

•When Recording mode is on, most surround sound-related functions cannot be used. The display will briefly blink RecMode On if you try and use a prohibited function while Recording mode is on.
