5.1a 2-CHANNEL
This mode downmixes 5.1-channel analog input signals into
2-channel Logic 7-encoded output signals. It sends these signals to
the front speakers and the subwoofer. It is recommended for
recording purposes, particularly for recording from a DVD-A or
multi-channel SACD player to a CD-R or another 2-channel
recording format.

5.1a BYPASS
• Designed for playback of 5.1-channel analog sources, such as
DVD-A or SACD players.
• Sends the 5.1-channel analog audio input connector directly to
the Main Zone volume control and audio output connectors as
shown on page 2-6 and page 3-59. These signals receive no
internal processing.
• When both side and rear speakers are present, surround
channel signals are sent in parallel to the side and rear speakers.
To configure a 5-channel speaker setup, set the OUTPUT
LEVELS menu SIDE L/R or REAR L/R parameter to OFF to deacti-
vate the associated surround speakers.
• The 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is automatically activated
whenever the 5.1-channel analog audio input connector is
assigned to the selected input. The 5.1a BYPASS listening mode
is only available for 5.1-channel analog sources.
• Pressing the remote control SHIFT then 2CH buttons toggles
the MAIN ADV menu ANALOG BYPASS parameter between ON
