SELECTING PREFERRED LISTENING MODES

Preferred listening modes can be pre-selected so that when a particular type of input source is played, the pre-selected listening mode is activated.

The RV-8 allows five preferred listening modes for each Main Zone input: one listening mode each for 2-channel, Dolby Digital, DTS(-ES), 5.1a and MIC (LIVE!) sources. The table to the right indicates the INPUT SETUP menu parameters that can be used to select preferred listening modes.
