When play is stopped, interrupted, etc., the 2-CH downmix mode is not canceled even though “ST” and the DTS or Dolby Digital indicators go off.

If the headphones are plugged and the SPEAKER button is set to off while playing the DTS and Dolby Digital program sources, it will enter the 2-CH downmix mode automatically(but only the DTS or 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.
