enjoy.
Listening with headphones
To listen with headphones, plug a pair of headphones with a standard

When you connect headphones, the unit will enter STEREO mode

Mono listening modes.
If you have selected MULTI CH INPUT, you will hear sound only
from the FRONT L and R channels.
The headphone volume level can be adjusted at the Setup menu (see
page 45).
Note that the signal to the remote zone (Zone 2) will not be affected
whether or not headphones are connected.
