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.
