Enjoying stereo sound

You can enjoy 2-channel and 5-channel stereo playback as the beam modes by pressing STEREO on the remote control.

Notes

When you play back Dolby Digital audio signals in the 2-channel or 5-channel stereo playback, the dynamic range becomes compressed. If the volume level decreases to the extreme, use other beam modes except My Beam.

When the 2-channel or 5-channel stereo playback is selected as the beam mode, the surround modes (see page 58) and the CINEMA DSP programs (see page 65) become ineffective.

Note

When you play back multi-channel sources, all signals except those from the front left and right channels are mixed down and output from the front left and right channels. No audio is output from the center and surround channels.

5-channel stereo playback

Sounds are output from front left and right, center, and surround left and right. This is ideal for playback in a large listening area or at a party.

2-channel stereo playback

Sounds are output from the front right and left channels. This is ideal for playing back hi-fi sources, such as CDs, and can be used to replace your TV speakers.
