Enjoying Surround Sound

Playing back with 2-channel sound

You can switch the output sound to 2-channel sound regardless of the recording formats of the
software you are using, the playback component connected, or the sound field settings of the
receiver.
2CH/
A.DIRECT
Press 2CH/A.DIRECT repeatedly to select the 2-channel sound mode of the
sound output you want.
2CH mode
2ch Stereo
2ch Analog Direct
Note
No sound is output from the subwoofer in the 2ch
Stereo mode. To listen to 2 channel stereo sources
using the front left/right speakers and a subwoofer,
select "A.F.D. Auto."
When you select "A.F.D. Auto," the receiver will
generate a low frequency signal for output to the
subwoofer from a 2 channel signal, even if there is
no L.F.E. signal.
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.
