MODE ADJUST

Selecting the MAIN MENU MODE ADJUST option opens the MODE ADJUST menu shown
at the left, which prompts the selection of the desired listening mode. Selecting a listening
mode opens the corresponding listening mode menu, which can be used to customize the
selected listening mode. These adjustments are applied the next time the listening mode is
activated.
All listening mode menus are shown in the Appendix beginning on page A-14. The
parameters on the left side of the listening mode menus differ from listening mode to
listening mode. The parameter settings on the right side are adjustable. The listening mode
menus shown in the Appendix indicate factory-default parameter settings for each listening
mode.
When the MODE ADJUST menu opens, the activated listening mode is highlighted.
Selecting another listening mode does not activate that listening mode. Rather, listening
modes must be activated with one of the methods described in the Listening Mode
Activation section that begins below.

LISTENING MODE ACTIVATION

The MC-12 allows listening mode activation in the Main Zone. Listening modes are available
for 2-channel, Dolby Digital, dts(-ES), and analog sources. In some cases, the MC-12
automatically activates a listening mode in response to certain commands. For this reason,
it is important to understand the three methods through which listening mode activation
occurs.
Listening mode activation occurs through:
the INPUT SETUP menu preferred listening mode selection parameters (2-CH, D,
, and 5.1a)
the front panel or remote control Mode buttons
the remote control mode family selection buttons ( , , , , , and )
