About “Large” or “Small” speaker

An “L” speaker is a speaker that can reproduce bass frequencies plentifully. If you select “S” for the surround speakers, the bass frequencies will come from the front speakers and/or sub woofer.

For normal use, select “Mch DIRECT” or set all the speakers to “L” (ex. “5– LARGE+SW”, “5–LARGE”, etc.). If the sound is noisy or the Multi-channel playback is not effective while playing a Multi-channel Super Audio CD, change the settings of the speakers concerned to “S”.

5 Press l AMS L (or ENTER on the remote).

To return to the normal display, press MENU on the player.

Notes

•The Multi-channel management function does not work when you select “Mch DIRECT” (you cannot set the output level balance of each speaker).

•The front speaker setting is set to “L” automatically when you set the sub woofer to “––”.

•When you play a track that does not contain the LFE* signal, the signal for the sub woofer does not output. Therefore, when you select “Mch DIRECT”, “5– LARGE+SW”, or “NO–CNTR+SW”, no signal outputs from the sub woofer. However, when you select “5–SMALL+SW” or “F–LARGE+SW” (when you set the speaker setting to “S”), the bass frequencies will come from the sub woofer.

*Low Frequency Enhancement (described as “.1 CH”)

•If you select a playback mode other than “2ch DIRECT” or “Mch DIRECT” using the Multi- channel management function, the sound distribution to the speakers will change, possibly causing a decrease in overall sound volume. If this occurs, adjust the volume with the volume control on the connected amplifier.

•If you change the playback mode while the player is in Multi-channel mode, the output level balance settings will be canceled.

•This function cannot be used during CD playback.
