The 6-channel inputs are “direct” inputs, meaning their signals are passed directly to the volume control without any bass management processing. Thus, the speaker sizes are always full range, and it isn’t possible to adjust speaker size crossover.

††Channel levels vary by surround mode rather than source input.
