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.”

4Turn l AMS L until desired mode appears in the display.

5Press l AMS L.

The output level balance setting display appears. To set the output level balance, go to Step 4 in

“Adjusting the output level balance on the front panel of the player” on page 26 or Step 2 in “Adjusting the output level from the remote” on page 26.

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 wooer to “––.”
