About “Large” or “Small” speaker

A “Large” speaker is a speaker that can reproduce bass frequencies plentifully. If you select “Small” 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 “Large” (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 “Small.”

4Turn l AMS L until desired mode appears in the display.

5Press l AMS L.

The output level balance setting display appears. To set the output level balance, go to Step 4 in “Adjusting the output level balance on the front panel of the player” on page 24 or Step 2 in “Adjusting the output level from the remote” on page 25.

To return to the normal display, press MENU.

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 “Large” 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 “FRT – Large +SW” (when you set the speaker setting to “Small”), the bass frequencies will come from the sub woofer.
