Using Stereo/Direct

When you select STEREO or DIRECT, you will hear the source through just the front left and right speakers (and possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker settings). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo. See page 36 for more on these modes.

•If you switch on Midnight listening, Loud- ness, or the Tone controls when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically switches to STEREO.

Refer to page 37 for more details about each surround effect.

•If you press ADVANCED SURROUND when the headphones are connected, the PHONES SURROUND mode will automat- ically be selected.

•The Advanced Surround effects can be adjusted in the range of 10 to 90 by pressing EFFECT +/– . The effect level can be set for each Advanced Surround mode. The Standard (STANDARD) mode cannot be changed.

Using Advanced Surround

•Press ADVANCED SURROUND repeat- edly to cycle the sound options.
