Enjoying stereo sound in multi

for 2 channel audio sources. This receiver can
reproduce 2 channel sound in 5 channels
through Dolby Pro Logic II; 7 channels through

channel decoding mode.

If you connect a sub woofer
When the audio signal is 2 channel stereo or if
the source signal does not include a LFE signal,
the receiver generates a low frequency signal for
output to the sub woofer. However the low
frequency signal is not generated for "NEO6
CIN" or "NEO6 MUS" when all speakers are set
to "LARGE".
