Note

•No sound is output from the sub woofer when the 2 CHANNEL mode is selected. To listen to two channel (stereo) sources using the front left and right speakers and a sub woofer, use the AUTO FORMAT DECODING mode.

•When you select "Micro Satellite Speaker", internal sound processor will automatically redirect bass sound to subwoofer. If you want to listen to two channel (stereo) sources under this setting, we recommend that you choose AUTO FORMAT DECODING mode so that you can take advantage of your subwoofer to get back correct bass signal.
