You can display various information about the current input source as follows.

Notes:

•Always turn down the volume before connecting your headphones.

•While the headphones plug is inserted in the PHONES jack, the speakers are turned off.

•When you connect a pair of headphones, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it was already set to Pure Audio, Mono, Stereo, or Direct, in which case it stays the same.

•When the multichannel DVD input is selected, only the front left and front right channels can be heard in the headphones.
