Listening in stereo

When you select

STEREO, you will hear the source

through just the front left and right speakers (and
possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker
settings). Dolby Digital, DTS and WMA9 Pro
multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo.

In the Auto level control stereo mode (A.L.C.), this
receiver equalizes playback sound levels if each sound
level varies with the music source recorded in a portable
audio player.

Set the operation selector switch to RCV.

While listening to a source, press STEREO/A.L.C. for

stereo playback.
Press repeatedly to switch between:

•

STEREO – The audio is heard with your surround
settings and you can still use the Midnight,
Loudness, and Tone functions.

•

A.L.C. – Listening in Auto level control stereo mode.

•

F.S.SURR FOCUS – See Using Front Stage Surround
Advance below for more on this.

•

F.S.SURR WIDE – See Using Front Stage Surround
Advance below for more on this.

Using Front Stage Surround Advance

The Front Stage Surround Advance function allows you to
create natural surround sound effects using just the front
speakers and the subwoofer.

Set the operation selector switch to RCV.

While listening to a source, press STEREO/A.L.C. to

select Front Stage Surround Advance modes.

•

STEREO – See Listening in stereo above for more on
this.

•

A.L.C. – See Listening in stereo above for more on
this.

•

F.S.SURR FOCUS – Use to provide a rich surround
sound effect directed to the center of where the front
left and right speakers sound projection area
converges.

•

F.S.SURR WIDE – Use to provide a surround sound

effect to a wider area than

FOCUS mode.

Note

1 Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect (stereo field is wider than Standard modes with Dolby Digital sources).
