About "Large" or "Small" speaker
A "Large" speaker is a speaker that can
reproduce bass frequencies plentifully. If
you select "Small" for the surround
speakers, the bass frequencies will come
from the front speakers and/or sub woofer.
For normal use, select "MCH Direct" or set
all the speakers to "Large" (ex. "5 – Large +
SW," "5 – Large," etc.). If the sound is
noisy or the Multi-channel playback is not
effective while playing a Multi-channel
Super Audio CD, change the settings of the
speakers concerned to "Small."
4
Turn lAMSL until desired mode
appears in the display.
5
Press lAMSL.
To return to the normal display, press
MENU.
Notes
• The Multi-channel management function does not
work when you select "MCH Direct" (you cannot
set the output level balance of each speaker).
• The front speaker setting is set to "Large"
automatically when you set the Sub woofer to "––."
• When you play a track that does not contain the
LFE* signal, the signal for the Sub woofer does not
output. Therefore, when you select "MCH Direct,"
"5 – Large + SW," or "No – CNTR + SW," no
signal outputs from the Sub woofer. However, when
you select "5 – Small + SW" or "FRT – Large +
SW" (when you set the speaker setting to "Small"),
the bass frequencies will come from the sub woofer.
* Low Frequency Enhancement (described as ".1
CH")
• You cannot operate this function when the player is
in the CD or Multi-channel playback mode. Operate
this function when the player is in the 2 channel
Super Audio CD playback mode, the disc tray is
opened, or no discs are in the player.
• If you select a playback mode other than "2CH
Direct" or "MCH Direct" using the Multi-channel
management function, the sound distribution to the
speakers will change, possibly causing a decrease in
overall sound volume. If this occurs, adjust the
volume with the volume control on the connected
amplifier.
Adjusting the output level
balance of each speaker
You can adjust following items with the Multi-
channel management function:
CNTR BALANCE
The relative output level balance between the
front speakers (FRONT L/R) and the center
speaker (CENTER)
SURR BALANCE
The relative output level balance between the
front speakers (FRONT L/R) and the surround
speakers (SURR L/R)
SW BALANCE
The relative output level balance between the
front speakers (FRONT L/R) and the sub
woofer (SUB WOOFER)
