Multi Channel

Use this when the unit is connected to an AV amplifier with

5.1 surround analog inputs. The sound is output from the six multi-channel analog outputs.

<Note that the audio volume changes when the mode is changed between 2-channel to multi-channel.

<Speakers should be set up properly for multi-channel use. See page 19 for details.

Settings (Speaker Setup 1)

Use these speaker setup menus when connecting an AV amplifier with analog outputs, using the 5.1 multi-channel setting (there is no need for this setup when not using multi- channel analog connections).

When “Direct” is chosen as the CD playback option (see page 19), the settings made here are ignored.

These speaker menus allow you to select the size, distance from the listening position, and relative levels, as well as generating a test tone.

Speaker Size (SP Size)

Select the size (Large* or Small) independently for the L/R

 

(front pair of speakers), the C (center speaker) and the SR/SL

 

(surround pair of speakers). Turn the subwoofer (SW) ON* or

ENGLISH

OFF (if you have no subwoofer).

 

Large *

 

Select this when the connected speakers can fully reproduce

 

sounds below 80 Hz.

 

Small

 

Select this when the connected speakers are rather small and

 

cannot reproduce sounds below 80 Hz.

 

When this setting is selected, bass frequencies below 80 Hz

 

are output from the subwoofer (if no subwoofer is

 

connected, from the front speakers).

 

OFF

 

Select this when no speaker is connected. The sound is

 

output from the front (or surround) speakers.

 

<When the front speaker is set to “Small”, the subwoofer is set to “ON” automatically. You cannot set the subwoofer “OFF”.

ON (subwoofer only)

Select this when a powered subwoofer is connected.

<For the center and surround pair options, if these speakers are not physically present, you can select OFF to prevent any output from those channels (you cannot turn off the front L/R pair). Any speakers turned off will downmix (if this option is selected) to the other enabled channels.

<Turning downmix on and off may affect the overall volume.
