Selecting a speaker mode:

Select a speaker mode to suit your speaker setup and performance. Speakers marked “Large” will output all signals, including a low range of 90Hz and lower. If you are using a large speaker with a large capacity for low-range frequencies (i.e., the woofer diameter is 16cm or more), select a mode for which the corresponding speaker is marked “Large.” The low range on the “Small” speaker channels is output to the sub- woofer or main speakers (marked “Large”). If you feel that low range playback is not sufficiently power- ful, or if the sound clips, select a mode in which the corresponding speaker is marked “Small.”

4 Press ENTER to confirm the selected mode.

5 Press SETUP.

The unit displays the standard screen.

Adjusting the speaker balance

If the volume level of each speaker varies, use the test tone to adjust the level so that all speakers sound at the same level as the main speakers.

The speaker balance cannot be adjusted if the speaker mode is set to MLTCH DIRECT.

If the speaker mode is changed, parameters set prior to the change will be initialized (assigned as initial val- ues).

1 Press SETUP.

2 Press the cursor button lor hto select “SPK BALANCE.”
