“DTS”, “MPEG” or “DOLBY DIGITAL” indicator lights up and “2 CH DOWNMIX” is scrolled, meaning it enters the 2-CH downmix mode, and then the discrete multi-channels(except LFE) are mixed down into 2 front channels.

To cancel the 2 - CH downmix mode, select the desired surround mode with using the MULTI CONTROL knob or the DSP MODE button, etc.

When the playback of the source on the player is stopped or interrupted, etc, the 2 - CH downmix mode is not canceled even though “ DTS”, “DOLBY DIGITAL” or “MPEG” indicator goes off.

If headphones are plugged in and the SPEAKER A/B button is set to the off mode while the digital signals from the DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG program sources are being input, it will enter the 2- CH downmix mode automatically and if headphones are unplugged and the SPEAKER A/B button is set to the speaker-on mode while in the 2- CH downmix mode, it will return to the previous mode.
