Mixing the Low Range Audio of the Center with the Front L/R (Center Bass Split)
Turning on this function sends the Center channel low frequencies, equally to the front Left and Right speakers. This enhances the overall sound when using a small center speaker. This is used when the center speaker has a small diameter and cannot produce low frequency sounds. (Initial setting: “OFF”, “315 Hz”)
1 Press [FUNC.].
2 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select “Multi Ch. Setup,” and then press the [Rotary encoder].
3 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select “Center Bass Split,” and then press the [Rotary encoder].
4 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select “ON,” and then press the [Rotary encoder].
Turning this feature ON mixes the audio signals output from the front L/R speakers with the center audio signals (low range).
5 Adjust the frequency by rotating the [Rotary encoder].
fc: 200 Hz/225 Hz/250 Hz/280 Hz/315 Hz/350 Hz/400 Hz/ 450 Hz/500 Hz
6 Press and hold [ 
] for at least 2 seconds.
•If [ 
] is pressed during setting, the unit returns to the previous item.
•Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing,
•When the Center speaker is off in “Setting the Speaker System (System Select)” (page 37)/“Setting the Speakers (Speaker Setup)” (page 38), this item cannot be set.
•Effective only for Dolby Pro Logic II, EUPHONY and DTS (with Center signal).
•After the setting, it is recommended to store the setting contents on the unit. For details, refer to “Storing the Preset Values (Preset Store)” (page 36).
Setting the Linear PCM (PCM Mode)
The output can be set to 2 or 3 channels when playing discs recorded in linear PCM. (Initial setting: “2ch”)
1 Press [FUNC.].
2 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select “Multi Ch. Setup,” and then press the [Rotary encoder].
3 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select “PCM Mode,” and then press the [Rotary encoder].
4 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select “2ch” or “3ch,” and then press the [Rotary encoder].
2ch: 2ch Output (L/R)
3ch: 3ch Output (L/R/CENTER)
5 When the setting is complete, press and hold [ 
] for at least 2 seconds.
•If [ 
] is pressed during setting, the unit returns to the previous item.
•When the Center speaker is off in “Setting the Speaker System (System Select)” (page 37)/“Setting the Speakers (Speaker Setup)” (page 38), this item cannot be set.

Achieving Powerful High Volume Sound (Listening Mode)
With Dolby Digital, the dynamic range is compressed so that powerful sound can be achieved at regular volume levels. This compression can be cancelled to achieve an energetic sound with even greater power, like the sound in a movie theater. This function works only in the Dolby Digital mode. (Initial setting: “Standard”)
1 Press [FUNC.].
2 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select “Multi Ch. Setup,” and then press the [Rotary encoder].
3 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select “Listening Mode,” and then press the [Rotary encoder].
4 Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select “Standard” or “Maximum,” and then press the [Rotary encoder].
Standard: To enjoy the dynamic sound at regular volume
Maximum: To enjoy the dynamic sound at maximum volume
