Retriever AIR feature is selected automatically.

sound. However, the options available will depend on your
speaker setup and the type of source you’re listening to.

If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround
encoded, the proper decoding format will automatically be
selected and shows in the display.
When you select
STEREO ALC
(Auto Level Control stereo
mode), this unit equalizes playback sound levels if each
sound level varies with the music source recorded in a
portable audio player.
When you select

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.
The following modes provide basic surround sound for stereo
and multichannel sources.
