Virtual Surround: When only two main speakers are present in the system, Harman Virtual Surround may be used to create an enhanced sound field that virtualizes the missing speakers. Select between Wide and Reference modes. Stereo: When 2-channel playback is desired, select the number of speakers used for playback: • 2 CH STEREO uses only two speakers. As described on page 35, you may select Analog Bypass mode for a pure analog signal when analog audio inputs are in use.
