In the Mono DSP preset you can choose to listen to:

Only one of two input channels, for use when different languages or material are carried on each channel.

A combined version of the two input channels, for use if the material was originally mono and has been conveyed on a two-channel carrier.

If Party? is set to No, the combined or selected signal is played only through the centre speaker, or the left and right speakers if there is no centre, to centrally localise high-frequency hiss and clicks.

Note that if Party? is set to Yes, full range bass is played through any speakers that are not supplemented by a subwoofer, and this may damage small speakers at high volume levels.
