■ Listening Modes
All Ch Stereo Ideal for background music, this mode
fills the entire listening area with stereo
sound from the front, surround, and
surround back speakers.
Full Mono In this mode, all speakers output the
same sound in mono, so the sound you
hear is the same regardless of where
you are within the listening room.
T-D (Theater-
Dimensional)
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual
surround sound even with only two or
three speakers. This works by
controlling how sounds reach the
listener’s left and right ears. Good
results may not be possible if there’s too
much reverb, so we recommend that
you use this mode in an environment
with little or no natural reverb.
