Dual-mono setting

The dual-mono setting applies only to Dolby Digital discs that feature dual-mono material—see the disc box for details.

Dual-mono discs are recorded with two independent channels that may be played together or separately depending on the situation. For example, a guitar tuition disc might have the guitar recorded on one channel and all the other instruments on the other. Use the dual-mono setting to play just the guitar part on its own; just the backing, or everything together (through separate speakers, or mixed).

1Press SYS then SETUP.

2 Press the @ or # button until you see STEREO or DUAL MONO in the display.

3 Use the % and Þ buttons to select a dual-mono setting.

• STEREO – default setting (Ch1 is played through the left speaker; Ch2 through the right)

• DualMono Ch1 – Ch1 is played through the center speaker (or through the left and right speakers if Surround Off is selected); Ch2 is muted.

• DualMono Ch2 – Ch2 is played through the center speaker (or through the left and right speakers if Surround Off is selected); Ch1 is muted.

• DualMono MIX – Ch1 and Ch2 are mixed together and played through the center speaker (or through both left and right speakers if Surround Off is selected).
