Listening in stereo
When you select

possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker
settings). Dolby Digital, DTS and WMA9 Pro
multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo.
In the Auto level control stereo mode (A.L.C.), this
receiver equalizes playback sound levels if each sound
level varies with the music source recorded in a portable
audio player.
