Listening in stereo
When you select
STEREO
or
DIRECT
, you will hear the
source through just the front left and right speakers (and
possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker
settings). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources
are downmixed to stereo.
•
While listening to a source, press STEREO/DIRECT
for stereo playback.
Press repeatedly to switch between:
•
STEREO
– The audio is heard with your surround
settings (such as channel level) and you can still use
digital processing (such as the Midnight, Loudness,
and Tone control functions).
•
DIRECT
– Bypass all effects and surround settings so
that the audio remains as close to the source audio
signal as possible.
Note
• If you switch on any signal processing features (for
example, digital noise reduction or the tone controls)
when
DIRECT
is selected, the receiver automatically
switches to
STEREO
.
Listening with headphones
When headphones are connected, all multichannel
sources, as well as all of the
MOVIE
and
MUSIC
modes
with be downmixed to 2 channels. Two channel sources
will be heard in stereo.
•
Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES
jack on the front panel.
All sources will be heard in stereo (downmixed). When
you disconnect them it reverts to the previous mode.
Note
• Many receiver features (such as matrix decoding) are
not accessible when the headphones are connected.
• When headphones are connected, no sound is heard
from the speakers. However, sound will still be output
from the preouts.
• You can only hear the front left and right channels
when
MULTI CH IN
is switched on.
Using the multichannel analog inputs
If you’ve connected to the multichannel inputs on the
rear panel (see
Connecting the multichannel analog
outputs
on page 20), you will be able to select them as
your input source.
1
Make sure you have set the playback source to
the proper output setting.
For example, you might need to set your DVD player to
output multichannel analog audio.
2
Press MULTI CH INPUT (MULTI CH IN on the front
panel) to select the multichannel analog inputs.
MULTI CH IN
shows in the display to indicate the audio
is coming from the multichannel analog inputs,
regardless of the input source selected. The input source
remains dedicated to the multichannel inputs until you
press
MULTI CH IN
/
MULTI CH INPUT
again to cancel.
• If you need to set the channel levels, see
Channel
Level
on page 51 to do so.
Note
• You can’t use any signal processing features (for
example, the
MOVIE
or
MUSIC
modes or the tone
controls) with the multichannel analog inputs.
• Speakers set to
NO
in the
Speaker Setting
on page 50
do not output the audio for the corresponding
channel.
• You can’t use the Second Zone speaker B setup
(page 65) with the multichannel analog inputs.
