Enjoying Surround Sound

Playing back with 2-channel sound

You can switch the output sound to 2-channel sound regardless of the recording formats of the software you are using, the playback component connected, or the sound field settings of the receiver.

2CH mode

Effect

2ch Stereo

The receiver outputs the sound from the front left/right speakers only. There is

 

no sound from the subwoofer.

 

Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing

 

and multi-channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channel.

 

 

2ch Analog Direct

You can switch the audio of the selected input to 2 channel analog input. This

 

function enables you to enjoy high quality analog sources.

 

When using this function, only the volume and front speaker balance can be

 

adjusted.

 

 

Note

No sound is output from the subwoofer in the 2ch Stereo mode. To listen to 2 channel stereo sources using the front left/right speakers and a subwoofer, select “A.F.D. Auto.”

When you select “A.F.D. Auto,” the receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the subwoofer from a 2 channel signal, even if there is no L.F.E. signal.
