Select "2CH STEREO" for "DEC. MODE."
Note
• Depending on the input stream, the "DEC. MODE" setting may not be effective.
• The surround sound effect is canceled when the sound mode is set to "SPORTS."
Tip
• The system memorizes the last "DEC. MODE" setting selected for each function.
Whenever you select a function such as "BD/DVD" or "TUNER FM," the "DEC. MODE" setting that was last
applied to the function is automatically applied again. For example, if you select "BD/DVD" with "AUTO" as the
"DEC. MODE" setting, then change to another function, and then return to "BD/DVD," "AUTO" will be applied
again.
