Operation modes

This unit features two operation modes: the 3- way network mode (NW) and the standard mode (STD). You can switch between modes as desired. Initially, the DSP setting is set to the standard mode (STD). (Refer to Switching the DSP setting mode on page 9.)

!The 3-way network mode (NW) lets you cre- ate a 3-way multi-amp, multi-speaker sys- tem with separate speakers for reproduction of high, middle and low fre- quencies (bands), each driven by a dedi- cated power amp. The 3-way network mode provides network and time alignment func- tions, two functions essential for a multi- amp, multi-speaker system, to enable pre- cise control over settings for each fre- quency range.

!The standard mode (STD) lets you create a 4-speaker system with front and rear speak- ers, or a 6-speaker system with front and rear speakers and subwoofers.

Important

Even when the battery is disconnected or the mi- croprocessor is reset, this unit’s audio setting re- mains in the memory for at least one day. If you want to reset the audio setting, refer to Resetting the audio functions on page 73.
