One press of the button will put the 2. 0 in the Stereo mode, and the next press returns you to the previously selected mode. Appendix C Mono + Playing a single-channel, monaural recording does not mean that you have to sacrifice availability of surround sound. The Mono + mode is NOT a single-channel mode, but rather a specially designed surround mode that takes incoming signals and creates a multichannel audio presentation. [. . . ]
