Controls and Functions

fiEFFECT

Switches the effect speakers (Center, Front Effect, Rear and Rear Center) on and off. If you turn off the output of these speakers using EFFECT, all DTS and Dolby Digital audio signals are directed to the Main left and right channels except for the LFE channel.

When DTS or Dolby Digital signals are mixed, the left and right Main channel signal levels may not match.

^6CH INPUT

Switches between 6CH INPUT mode and normal input modes. 6CH INPUT mode takes priority over the source selected with INPUT SELECTOR.

You cannot use DSP sound field programs while using an external decoder.

flBALANCE

Controls the balance of the sound levels coming from the right and left Main speaker(s). Setting this control to the center position “0” is appropriate for most situations.

&A/B/C/D/E

Selects one of the five preset station groups.

‡BASS EXTENSION ON/OFF

When pushed in (ON), this feature boosts the bass frequency of the left and right main channels by +6 dB (60 Hz) while maintaining overall tonal balance. This boost is useful if you do not use a subwoofer.

However, this boost may not be noticeable if the main speakers are set to “SMALL” and the bass output mode is set to “SW.”

*PROCESSOR DIRECT ON/OFF

When pushed in (ON), BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, and BASS EXTENSION are bypassed, eliminating any alteration of the original signal.
