Using the Listening Modes

Selecting the Listening Modes

For a description of each listening mode, see “About the Listening Modes” on page 66.

The Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be selected if your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver with a digital audio connection (coaxial, optical, or HDMI).

The listening modes you can select depend on the format of the input signal. To check the format, see “Displaying Source Informa- tion” on page 52.

While a pair of headphones is connected, you can only select the Mono, Direct, or Ste- reo listening mode.

While speaker B is on, you can select only the Direct or Stereo listening mode.

The listening modes cannot be selected while speaker set A is off.
