Stereo / Bilingual Sound Selection
•
If the stereo signal is poor or the receiving conditions are not optimum or if STEREO:MONO automatic switching
occurs, it is recommended you switch from STEREO to MONO.
•
Even when the contents of the receiving signal undergo changes, selection mode is kept intact.
•
When the receiving conditions deteriorate, listening will be easier if the mode is set to the MONO position, using
the stereo / bilingual sound selection button.
•
DUAL, also known as DUAL MONO or as BILINGUAL is not currently transmitted in some countries.
When you receive the stereo / bilingual sound system, sound output modes can be selected by pressing the
Stereo / Bilingual Sound Selection button.

be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 36).
