Tip
• If you're playing a high signal level source
which is producing unpleasant distortion
from the speakers, you can reduce the
signal level of the auxiliary source
(connected to the TV or LINE 1 analog
inputs) by switching on the attenuator. See
Optional system settings on page 59 to do
this.

Recording mode

The Recording mode allows you to make
surround-compatible analog recordings from
the LINE 1 (OUT) jacks. Dolby multichannel
sources will be downmixed to stereo for
improved playback with systems that can
provide matrix-decoding (like Dolby Pro Logic).
1 Press SOUND.
2 Use the (cursor left/right) buttons
to select 'Rec Mode?'.
3 Press ENTER.
4 Use the (cursor up/down) buttons
to select 'R.Mode On' or 'R.Mode Off'.
• R.Mode On – A surround-compatible
downmix (left-total/right-total, or Lt/Rt) of
Dolby multichannel sources is output,
(suitable for Dolby Surround Pro Logic or
other matrix decoding).
• R.Mode Off – A simple stereo downmix
(left-only/right-only, or Lo/Ro) is output
(suitable for playback on a two-channel
stereo system or on headphones).
Note
• When Recording mode is on, most
surround sound-related functions cannot
be used. The display will briefly blink
RecMode On if you try and use a
prohibited function while Recording mode
is on.
