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.

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.)
