Button: This
button has two functions: In normal use, pressing
this selector button cycles through the stereo
modes, and it is also used to turn off all surround
processing and place the unit in a traditional
two-channel Stereo mode. The first press selects
5-Channel Stereo or 7-Channel Stereo, depend-
ing on the selection (5.1 or 6.1/7.1) made in the
surround mode setting, see page 23, and the sec-
ond selects “SURROUND OFF,” which is true
Stereo. When an adjustment is being made using
the Channel Select Ù or Digital Select Û
buttons, this button may be pressed to scroll
through the available options.
