Using the Listening Modes

Selecting Listening Modes

See “About the Listening Modes” on page 43 for detailed information about the listening modes.

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 or optical).

Listening mode availability depends on the format of the current input signal.

While a pair of headphones is connected, or speaker B is on, you can select only the Mono, Direct, or Stereo listening mode.
