Listening in stereo

When you select STEREO or DIRECT, you will hear the source through just the front left and right speakers (and possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker settings). Dolby Digital, DTS and WMA9 Pro multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo.

•While listening to a source, press STEREO for stereo playback.

Press repeatedly to switch between:

•STEREO – The audio is heard with your surround settings and you can still use the Midnight, Loud- ness, and Tone functions.

•DIRECT – Bypass all effects and surround settings so that the audio remains as close to the source audio signal as possible.1

Listening with Acoustic Calibration EQ

•Default setting: OFF / ALL CH ADJUST (after the Auto MCACC Setup or EQ Auto Setting)

You can listen to sources using the Acoustic Calibration Equalization set in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 8 or Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 38. Refer to these pages for more on Acoustic Calibration Equalization.
