Basic Operation

Dual Mono setting and playback

The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital or homemade discs that have dual mono software encoded in them. Dual mono software usually is used to put two different mono soundtracks, that you can listen to together or separately, on one DVD. With this setting you can choose which dual mono setting you want to listen to. Remember this setting is only applicable if you are using Dolby Digital software with dual mono and want to isolate one of the channels therein.

1 Press the RETURN button for more than three seconds to put the receiver in DUAL MONO mode.

Hold down the RETURN button to cycle through the dif- ferent DUAL MONO settings. When you find the one you want release the button. The L (CH1) and R (CH2) indica- tors in the display light to indicate the playback channel.

The different settings are: DUAL CH1, where you only hear channel 1; DUAL CH2, where you only hear channel 2; and DUAL CH1/CH2, where you hear both channels, but independently from different speakers.

Memo:

The default setting is DUAL CH1.

You can only use this function with Dolby Digital sources that have this encoding.

Using Headphones

1 Plug headphones into the PHONES jack on the front of the receiver.

No sound will be audible from the speakers when head- phones are plugged in except in MULTI CH IN mode or when using the pre-outs. In MULTI CH IN mode the sub- woofer will be audible even if the headphones are plugged in.

1 PHONES jack

Memo:

All SURROUND modes will be downmixed to 2 chan- nels.

If you’re listening to a 2 channel source there will be no matrix decoding (i.e. you will not be able to get surround sound decoding).

For MULTI CH IN and SACD DIRECT modes, only the FRONT L and R channels can be heard.
