MODE ADJUST

Selecting the MODE ADJUST option opens the MODE ADJUST menu, which is used to select a listening mode for adjustment. When the MODE ADJUST menu opens, the currently activated Main Zone listening mode is highlighted.

Selecting a listening mode does not activate that listening mode for the current Main Zone input source. Rather, selecting a listening mode opens the corresponding listening mode menu, which is used to customize the selected listening mode. These adjustments are applied when the listening mode is selected with one of the methods described in the Listening Mode Activation section that begins below.

LISTENING MODE ACTIVATION

Listening modes are available for 2-channel, Dolby Digital, DTS(-ES), MIC and analog input sources. The RV-8 allows listening mode selection for all Main Zone sources. In some cases, the RV-8 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.

Note:

When headphones are plugged into the RV-8, all listening modes are downmixed to two channels with the following exceptions: HEADPHONE L7, HEADPHONE 5.1, HEADPHONE DTS and HEADPHONE 5.1a. These listening modes are described in detail on page 6-34.

Listening mode activation occurs through:

•the INPUT SETUP menu preferred listening mode selection parameters (page 3-12).

•the front-panel or remote control Mode button (page 2-17).

•the remote control listening mode family selection buttons (page 2-17).
