DESCRIPTION OF EACH FUNCTION

CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)

Choices: LARGE/SMALL/NONE

Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: Select this position when your center speaker is approximately the same size as the main speakers.

SMALL: Select this position when you use a center speaker that is smaller than the main speakers.

In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the center channel are output from the main speakers (or the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SMALL position is selected for “MAIN” and the SW position is selected for “BASS”).

NONE: Select this position when you do not have a center speaker (four speaker system). The center channel sound will be output from the left and right main speakers.

REAR (REAR SPEAKERS)

Choices: LARGE/SMALL

Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: Select this position if your rear speakers have high ability for bass reproduction, or if a subwoofer is connected in parallel to the rear speaker.

In this position, full-range signals are output from the rear speakers.

SMALL: Select this position if your rear speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction.

In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the rear channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal (or the main speakers if the MAIN position is selected for “BASS”).

MAIN (MAIN SPEAKERS)

Choices: LARGE/SMALL

Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: Select this position if your main speakers have high ability for bass reproduction.

In this position, full-range signals present on the main channels are output from the main speakers.

SMALL: Select this position if your main speakers do not have high ability for bass reproduction. However, if your system does not include a subwoofer, do not select this position.

In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the main channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SW or BOTH position is selected for “BASS”.

BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)

Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH

Preset position: SW

MAIN: Select this position if your system does not include a subwoofer.

In this position, full-range signals present on the main channels, signals from the LFE channel and other low bass signals that are distributed from other channels are output from the main speakers.

SW/BOTH:

Select either the SW or BOTH position if your system includes a subwoofer.

In either position, signals on the LFE channel and other low bass signals that are distributed from other channels are output from the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.

When the LARGE position is selected for “MAIN”, in the SW position, no signal is distributed from the main channels to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal; however, in the BOTH position, low bass signals from the main channels are output to both the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal.

M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)

Choices: NRML (NORMAL)/–10 dB

Preset position: NRML (NORMAL)

NRML (NORMAL):

Normally select this position.

–10 dB: Select this position if the sound output from the main speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound output from the center and rear speakers. In this position, the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.

Note

The settings of “CNTR”, “REAR”, “MAIN” and “BASS” have no effect on the signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.
