Stereo / Bilingual Sound Selection

Note

• 

If the stereo signal is poor or the receiving conditions are not optimum or if STEREO:MONO automatic switching 

occurs, it is recommended you switch from STEREO to MONO.

• 

Even when the contents of the receiving signal undergo changes, selection mode is kept intact.

• 

When the receiving conditions deteriorate, listening will be easier if the mode is set to the MONO position, using 

the stereo / bilingual sound selection button.

• 

DUAL, also known as DUAL MONO or as BILINGUAL is not currently transmitted in some countries.
