Using only the front
speakers
(2CH STEREO)
In this mode, the receiver outputs the sound
from the front left/right speakers only. There is
no sound from the sub woofer.
Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely
bypass the sound field processing and multi-
channel surround formats are downmixed to 2
channel.
Press 2CH.
Note
No sound is output from the sub woofer in the 2CH
STEREO mode. To listen to 2 channel stereo sources
using the front left/right speakers and a sub woofer,
select “A.F.D. AUTO.”
This receiver will generate a low frequency signal
for output to the sub woofer when there is no L.F.E.
signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output from
a sub woofer to a 2 channel signal.
