Explanation of table symbols F: Front speakers C: Center speaker SR: Surround speakers SW: Sub woofer a: Signal is output --: Signal is not output L: Large S: Small About "Large" or "Small" speaker An "L" speaker is a speaker that can reproduce bass frequencies plentifully. If you select "S" for the surround speakers, the bass frequencies will come from the front speakers and/or sub woofer. For normal use, select "Mch DIRECT" or set all the speakers to "L" (ex. "5- LARGE+SW", "5-LARGE", etc.). If the sound is noisy or the Multi-channel playback is not effective while playing a Multi-channel Super Audio CD, change the settings of the speakers concerned to "S". 5 Press l AMS L (or ENTER on the remote). To return to the normal display, press MENU on the player. Notes • The Multi-channel management function does not work when you select "Mch DIRECT" (you cannot set the output level balance of each speaker). • The front speaker setting is set to "L" automatically when you set the sub woofer to "--". • When you play a track that does not contain the LFE* signal, the signal for the sub woofer does not output. Therefore, when you select "Mch DIRECT", "5- LARGE+SW", or "NO-CNTR+SW", no signal outputs from the sub woofer. However, when you select "5-SMALL+SW" or "F-LARGE+SW" (when you set the speaker setting to "S"), the bass frequencies will come from the sub woofer. * Low Frequency Enhancement (described as ".1 CH") • If you select a playback mode other than "2ch DIRECT" or "Mch DIRECT" using the Multichannel management function, the sound distribution to the speakers will change, possibly causing a decrease in overall sound volume. If this occurs, adjust the volume with the volume control on the connected amplifier. • If you change the playback mode while the player is in Multi-channel mode, the output level balance settings will be canceled. • This function cannot be used during CD playback. 16US
