multi-channel, “

2CH MIX” appears on the display.

• To turn off the sound from the speakers connected to the FRONT A

terminals, press [SPEAKERS A] and cancel “

The advanced dual amp function activates
automatically when you use 2-channel
stereo playback or 5.1-channel playback.
The unit takes advantage of the
unused surround back speaker
amplifier, and runs one speaker with
two amplifiers when this function is on.
Advanced dual amplifier offers you sounds
that are clearer and higher in audio quality
than those available in normal playback.

• The [ADVANCED DUAL AMP]

indicator stays on while
advanced dual amp is at work.

You can also set the advanced dual amp
function off (

á

 page 33).

This function activates automatically when you
play analog audio sources or two-channel PCM
signals through bi-wiring connections.
The unit takes advantage of the front speaker
and the surround speaker amps, and drives the
speakers’ high-frequency and low-frequency
sections separately when this function is on.
The advanced dual amp function (

á

 above) is

available with the bi-amp function. When
combined, the two functions enhance clarity
and audio quality of stereo sounds.
