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.
