Dual mono setting
• Default setting: L-CH1 R-CH 2
The dual mono setting can only be used
when listening to Dolby Digital discs with
dual mono encoding. These discs are not
widely used, but are sometimes used to
seperate the backing track from the vocals
on karaoke discs. With this setting you can
choose which channel in the dual mono
setting you want to listen to.
You will hear the channel you have selected
(either
CH1 or CH2) through your center
speaker. If surround sound is switched off,
you will hear the channel you have selected
through both front speakers. In the
L-CH1 R-
CH 2 setting, the left front speaker will play
channel 1 and the right front speaker will
play channel 2.
• Use / to cycle through the possible
dual mono settings.

LFE attenuator setting

Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include
ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator
as necessary to prevent the ultra-low bass
tones from distorting the sound from the
speakers.
• Use / to set the attenuation level
(0 dB, 10 dB or OFF).
