When selecting the AmP Assign

•The surround back channels' power amplifier can drive the surround back speakers, the ROOM 2 speakers or the front bi-amp capable speakers. Depending on how to use the speakers, you should assign the power amplifier correctly. (For details, refer to "CONNECTING SPEAKERS" on page 8 and "CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTS" on page 10.)

↕power amplifier automatically drives the surround back speakers or the ROOM 2 speakers depending on whether the ROOM 2 function is turned off or on.

When selecting the Subwoofer mode

•"Subwoofer Plus+" mode is valid only when "Front" and "Center" are set to "Full Range" and "Subwoofer" is set to "Yes" on the Speaker/Room EQ Setup menu. (For details, refer to "SETTING THE SPEAKER/ ROOM EQ SETUP" on page 43.)

Normal : When the low frequency signals of channels set to "Full Range " are reproduced from those channels only. In this mode, the low frequency signals that are reproduced from the subwoofer channel is only the low frequency signals of

↕LFE (from the multi-channel sources that contains LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel, also called the ".1" channel)

and the channels set to the setting value other than "Full Range".

Subwoofer Plus+ : When the low frequency signals of channels set to "Full Range" are reproduced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel.

In this mode, the low frequency range expands more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.

When selecting the HDmI Audio Output

↕
