Basic Operation

DUAL MONO Setting and Playback

The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital or homemade discs that have dual mono
software encoded in them. Dual mono software usually is used to put two different mono recordings with one
soundtrack on one DVD. With this setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to
listen to. Remember this setting is only applicable if you are using Dolby Digital software with dual mono and
want to isolate one of the channels therein. Otherwise, just ignore this function.
• The default setting is DUAL ch1.
memo
• You can only use this function with
Dolby Digital sources that have this
function.
• When a DUAL MONO source is
being used the Ò & Â indicators
flash. Then, if you select DUAL ch1,
for example, the Ò indicator will light.

Input Attenuator

The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog signal when it is too strong, causing distortion in the
sound.
