PREPARATION

3. MAIN SPEAKER

Choices: LARGE/SMALL

Preset position: LARGE

LARGE: If your main speakers have a high ability for bass reproduction.

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

SMALL: If your main speakers do not have a 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) at the main channels are output from the SUBWOOFER terminals (if the SW or BOTH position is selected on “4. LFE/BASS OUT”).

5. MAIN LEVEL

Choices: Normal (Nrml)/–10dB

Preset position: Nrml

Normal: Normally, select this position.

–10dB: If the volume levels to the center and/or rear speakers are lower than the level to the main speakers even though they are adjusted to maximum.

The volume level to the main speakers are decreased by 10 dB, so you can adjust the speaker output level balance properly.

4. LFE/BASS OUT

Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH

Preset position: SW

MAIN: If your system does not include a subwoofer.

In this position, full range signals present at the main channels, signals from the LFE channel and other low bass signals that are selected on “1. CENTER SPEAKER” to “3. MAIN SPEAKER” to be 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 at LFE channel and other low bass signals that are selected on “1. CENTER SPEAKER” to “3. MAIN SPEAKER” to be distributed from other channels are output from the SUBWOOFER terminals.

When the LARGE position is selected on “3. MAIN SPEAKER”, in the SW position, no signal is distributed from the main channels to the SUBWOOFER terminals, however in the BOTH position, low bass signals from the main channels are output to both of the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER terminals.

Note

The settings of “1. CENTER SPEAKER”, “2. REAR SPEAKER”, “3. MAIN SPEAKER” and “4. LFE/BASS OUT” have no effect on the signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.
