the MODE parameter is displayed on the front panel.

mono playback modes.

Using the L + R Balance Control during mono playback
Precise left-to-right channel balance is critical to achieving an accu-
rate soundstage. When L + R mono playback is activated, the
balance control can be used to compensate for output level imbal-
ances that occur after the Nº32 in the signal chain, including those
that result from asymmetrical loudspeaker placement and slight
mismatches in loudspeaker sensitivity.
To use the L + R balance control:
1. On the remote control, press and hold the mono button until
the MODE parameter is displayed on the front panel.
Press and release the mono button to cycle through all available
mono playback modes until the L + R mono mode is selected.
2. Press and release the enter button to close the MODE
parameter display.
L Only Sends the left-channel input signal to the
left-channel and right-channel main output
connectors. The right-channel input signal is
ignored.
R Only Sends the right-channel input signal to the
left-channel and right-channel main output
connectors. The left-channel input signal is
ignored.
L - R Sends the difference between the left-channel
and right-channel input signals to the
left-channel and right-channel main output
connectors. See “Using L – R mono mode to
align phono cartridge azimuth” on page 4-6
for additional information.
