24. AREA B OUTput, (L and R)
Connect a pair of cables from the AREA "B", L (Left) and R (Right) OUTputs to the inputs
of the dedicated power amplifier that is connected to the loudspeakers in Area "B". Each
time Area "B" is turned on, TUNER is automatically selected at a volume level 50dB below
maximum.
Area "B" must first be turned ON in Area "B", by a keypad or remote controller
transmitting to an Area "B" sensor, before the Area "B" outputs will operate.
25. CENTER SPEAKER, (NONE, SMALL and LARGE THX)
The CENTER SPEAKER Switch is effective only in the CINEMA 1 and CINEMA 2
modes.
NONE: Set the CENTER SPEAKER SWITCH to the NONE position when no center speaker
is being used- All the Left and Right signals are sent to the Left and Right front channel
loudspeakers to maintain the Phantom Center channel effect.
SMALL: Set the switch to the SMALL position when a small compact speaker is used for
Center channel reproduction. This switch setting includes a low pass filter that allows only
decoded center channel frequencies above 100Hz to be fed to the small center speaker. All
Center low frequencies below 100Hz are then fed to the respective Left and Right Front
loudspeakers.
LARGE (THX): Set the switch to the LARGE position when a full size, full range speaker
is used for the Center channel. The switch must be in this position for Home THX® Audio
(CINEMA 2) operating mode.
