The following decoding and surround modes are available

stereo signal to produce a mono signal. This can be of benefit
when playing old video tapes. The programme source format

In this mode the AV32R works like a normal stereo audio
preamplifier. It is only valid for conventional stereo sources (e.g.
analog inputs or a CD). No processing is applied to the signal,
which is sent only to the left and right front speakers. The
programme source format display will show
L
and
R
.
Works as ‘Direct’, but the left and right low-frequency signals will
be directed to your subwoofer
(3)
. The programme source format
display will show
L
,
R
and
LFE
. If you do not have a subwoofer
you cannot select this mode.
This surround mode is available as an option. The chapter ‘How
