Adjusting the SOUND SET with EASY SET UP (continued)
Selecting the center mode
The center mode is related to the PROLOGIC and THEATER sound fields. (See “Taking advantage of the sound fields” on page 75 for a detailed explanation on sound fields.) You must have rear left and right speakers, or one center speaker other than the front left and right speakers for these sound fields.
You can select NORMAL, WIDE, PHANTOM, or 3CH LOGIC as the center mode. Each mode is designed for a different speaker configuration. Select the most suitable mode considering the following conditions:
If you have front and rear speakers, and a small center speaker
Select NORMAL. The center channel bass sound is output from the front speakers. This is because small center speakers cannot reproduce bass sound sufficiently.
