The “S.MODE I-II” button displays/controls the processing and
output of the audio signal. When power is switched ON, the mode
is automatically preset to either “Dual-I” or “STEREO”, depending
on the current transmission.

Selecting the Sound Mode(depending on the model)

If the receiving conditions deteriorate, listening will be
easier if the mode is set to the “MONO” position using
the S.MODE I-II button.
If the stereo signal is weak (or if intermittent Stereo-Mono)
and automatic switching occurs, then switch to the
“MONO” mode.
When receiving mono sound in the AV mode, connect to
the “L” input jack on the panels. If the mono sound
comes out only from the left speaker, then press the
S.MODE I-II button.

wish to answer the telephone.
