ENGLISH

Downmixing into 2 front channels

Allows the multi-channel Dolby Digital signals to be reproduced through only two speakers or through headphones.

When the digital signals from the Dolby Digital program sources are input in available surround mode, press the STEREO button.

STEREO

“ST” and the Dolby Digital indicators light up, meaning it enters the 2-CH downmix mode, and then the discrete multi-channels(except LFE) are mixed down into 2 front channels.

To cancel the 2-CH downmix mode, select the desired surround mode with using the DSP MODE button.

When the playback of the source on the player is stopped or interrupted, etc., the 2-CH downmix mode is not canceled even though “ST” and the Dolby Digital indicators go off.

If the headphones are plugged and the SPEAKER button is set to off while the digital signals from the Dolby Digital program sources are being input, it will enter the 2-CH downmix mode automatically(but only the Dolby Digital indicator lights up still) and if the headphones are unplugged and the SPEAKER button is set to on in the 2-CH downmix mode, it will return to the previous mode.
