Listening in stereo

When you select STEREO you will hear the
source through just the front left and right
speakers (and possibly your subwoofer
depending on your speaker settings). Dolby
Digital or DTS multichannel sources are
downmixed to stereo.
In the Auto level control stereo mode (A.L.C.),
this unit equalizes playback sound levels if
each sound level varies with the music source
recorded in a portable audio player.
