DUAL MONO SETTING
The dual mono setting can only be used when listening to Dolby Digital discs that have dual mono software
encoded in them. Dual mono software usually is used to put two different soundtracks on one DVD. With this
setting you can choose which channel in the dual mono setting you want to listen to. Thus, it is useful for
soundtracks that have one language on one channel and a different language on the other. Remember this
setting is only applicable if you are using Dolby Digital software with dual mono and want to isolate one of the
channels therein. Otherwise, just ignore this function.
Initial Set Up
1 Put the receiver in STANDBY mode.
2 While holding down the VIDEO
SELECT button press the
STANDBY/ON button on the front
panel.
3 You will see DUAL in the display for
about five seconds. During this time
use the STEREO/DIRECT button to
cycle through the different DUAL
MONO settings to find the one you
want.
The different settings are: DUAL ch1, where you only
hear channel 1; DUAL ch2, where you only hear
channel 2; and DUAL ch1/ch2, where you hear both
channels, but independently from different speakers.
The default setting is DUAL ch1.
