Enjoying high fidelity stereo sound

• If you turn off the sound effects while this unit is reproducing
sound from a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, the dynamic range
of the signal is automatically compressed and this unit mixes
the sounds of the center and surround speaker channels and
outputs them from the front speakers.
• The volume may be greatly reduced when you turn off the
sound effects. In this case, turn on the sound effects.

headphones while multi-channel Dolby Digital source is
