Effect
The receiver outputs the sound from the front left/right speakers only. There is
no sound from the subwoofer.
Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing
and multi-channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channel.
You can switch the audio of the selected input to 2 channel analog input. This
function enables you to enjoy high quality analog sources.
When using this function, only the volume and front speaker balance can be
adjusted.
