source through just the front left and right speakers (and
possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker
settings). Dolby Digital, DTS and WMA9 Pro
multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo.
Note

automatically switches to STEREO.
2 • You can't use Acoustic Calibration EQ with MULTI CH IN, XM HD Surround or WMA9 Pro, and it has no effect with headphones.
• If you switch on Acoustic Calibration EQ when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically switches to STEREO.
