[9] Headphone Output/Video 5 Input
A 1/4” stereo jack socket is provided for headphone lis- tening and will work with conventional headphones of any impedance. The volume and tone controls are operative for headphone listening. Use a suitable adapter to con- nect headphones with other types of connectors such as 3.5mm stereo ‘personal stereo’ jack plugs. Inserting a headphone will automatically turn off the signals from the Preamp Outputs, and set the listening mode to Stereo.
NOTE: Head phones are only LF RF output. If listening to 5.1 material center channel should be turned off.

[10] Surround Backs Button
Pressing this button engages ADCOM’s proprietary 7.1m²™ decoding algorithm. The 7.1m²™ decoding process mixes the signals from the left surround and right surround chan- nels to derive two unique signals sent to each back output. The benefit of our 7.1m²™ decoding process is enhance imaging between the surround speakers and the creation of a more diffuse ambient sound field. The 7.1m²™ pro- cess has the same benefits when compared to other matix decoding as stereo signals have over mono signals. The 7.1m²™ process can also be used to drive your surround back speakers when you are listening to an externally decoded DVD audio or SACD
The level of the Surround Back channels can be adjusted in the same manner as the other channels, either through the
