Mode
Lists the decode and downmix options you wish to
include when cycling through the options on the MODE
button. Settings are Yes or No. The list is divided into
two sections depending on the source audio type.

For Stereo sources:
Dolby Surround –
DTS Neural:X -
DTS Virtual:X -
5/7 Ch Stereo -
The first section, 'Stereo sources' is the list of processing
modes you wish to make available for stereo signals
(analogue stereo, digital PCM stereo, Dolby 2.0, DTS
2.0, etc). When a stereo signal is applied, each press of
the MODE button cycles through the processing modes
you have enabled in the 'Stereo sources' section. The
unprocessed Stereo option is always available for stereo
signals therefore it is not shown in the list.
For Multi-channel sources:
Stereo Downmix –
Dolby Surround –
DTS Neural:X -
DTS Virtual:X -
The second section, 'Multi-channel sources' is the list
of processing modes you wish to make available for
multi-channel digital signals (any Dolby or DTS digital
stream that has more channels than stereo 2.0). When a
multi-channel digital signal is applied, each press of the
MODE button cycles through the processing modes you
have enabled in the 'Multi-channel sources' section.

Lists the volume and control settings for Zone 2. These
settings are applied to all audio inputs and are stored in

Zone 2 Status – Selects if Zone 2 is in Standby or On.
Zone 2 Volume – The current volume in Zone 2.

locked at the current value for use with an external
amplifier with its own volume control in Zone 2.
Zone 2 Max On Vol – Limits the maximum volume the
system operates in the Zone 2 when it is switched on
or comes out of Standby. The system comes on at this
E-31
volume if the last used (possibly very loud) volume
exceeds this value.
