Audio Modes - B&K Reference 21 Owner's Manual

AUDIO MODES

Your processor is designed to work with 5 audio listening modes. Under normal operation you may simply select
Mono, Stereo, Surround, THX or DVD Audio via the remote control. In addition, you may choose an audio
listening mode immediately followed by a speaker selection. The table below shows how your processor will route
audio with the various audio modes and speaker selection combinations. This table assumes seven full range
speakers plus a subwoofer. If your speaker configuration is different from this make sure you have performed the
set up procedures described previously (see SETUP SPEAKER SIZE). When the setup is correctly performed
your processor will route audio to fewer/smaller speakers with the needed corrections to volume and "down
mixing" applied automatically.
