Normal mode: This mode is suited for an arrangement in which the center channel speaker is smaller than the left and right speakers. Signals below 100 Hz which have almost no effect on directional orientation are distributed to the left and right channels, whereas the center channel output signals greater than 100 Hz. As a result, the bass of the left and right channels increases the apparent deepness of the sound. Wide mode: This mode is suited for an arrangement in which the center channel speaker is of the same grade as the left and right speakers. The entire sound band from low region to high is output to the center channel to provide an exciting sound field for your enjoyment. 40 Phantom mode: Use this mode when center channel speaker is not used. A directional emphasis circuit provides signal reproduc- 35 ti tion which is electrically oriented to the center and this provides an exciting sound field for your enjoyment. 30 Delay Time 25 The optimum delay time will differ depending on the listening position. Referring to the chart at right, set the optimum delay 20 f:t time for your room's space and seating position. For example, 15 A when the distance from the front speakers to the listening position is 20 feet and that from the rear speakers to the listening position is 15 feet, the optimum delay time will be 20 ms. It The variable range of the delay time differs depending on the mode. 5 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 DISTANCE FROM FRONT SPEAKERS IFEET) USABLE SPEAKER PLACEMENT RANGE WITH XX ms DELAY TIME ▪ PREFERRED j ACCEPTABLE u NOT RECOMMENDED

Center
Mode
Set
the
center
mode
as
described
below,
according
to
the
type
of
center
speaker
being
used.
Normal
mode:
This
mode
is
suited
for
an
arrangement
in
which
the
center
channel
speaker
is
smaller
than
the
left
and
right
speakers.
Signals
below
100
Hz
which
have
almost
no
effect
on
directional
orientation
are
distributed
to
the
left
and
right
channels,
whereas
the
center
channel
output
signals
greater
than
100
Hz.
As
a
result,
the
bass
of
the
left
and
right
channels
increases
the
apparent
deepness
of
the
sound.
Wide
mode:
This
mode
is
suited
for
an
arrangement
in
which
the
center
channel
speaker
is
of
the
same
grade
as
the
left
and
right
speakers.
The
entire
sound
band
from
low
region
to
high
is
output
to
the
center
channel
to
provide
an
exciting
sound
field
for
your
enjoyment.
Phantom
mode:
Use
this
mode
when
center
channel
speaker
is
not
used.
A
directional
emphasis
circuit
provides
signal
reproduc-
tion
which
is
electrically
oriented
to
the
center
and
this
provides
an
exciting
sound
field
for
your
enjoyment.
Delay
Time
The
optimum
delay
time
will
differ
depending
on
the
listening
position.
Referring
to
the
chart
at
right,
set
the
optimum
delay
time
for
your
room's
space
and
seating
position.
For
example,
when
the
distance
from
the
front
speakers
to
the
listening
position
is
20
feet
and
that
from
the
rear
speakers
to
the
listening
position
is
15
feet,
the
optimum
delay
time
will
be
20
ms.
The
variable
range
of
the
delay
time
differs
depending
on
the
mode.
