z1: "5CH STEREO" is displayed when "Surround Parameter" – "SB
CH OUT" is "OFF", and "Amp Assign" is set to "ZONE2"
(vpage 35, 48, 49).
z2: When playing sources recorded in monaural in the MONO MOVIE
mode, the sound will be off balance with a single channel (left or
right), so input to both channels.
Depending on the program source being played, it may not be possible
to achieve a satisfactory surround effect. In this case, try other modes
to achieve a sound field suited to your tastes.
