front speakers. The bass portions of the center channel signals are output through the
front speakers.

Select this mode when you do not use a center speaker. The center speaker channel
signals are output through the front speakers.

OFF

Select this mode to turn off the center speaker channel.

Notes:
• If you have already set the center speaker size following the procedure described on page 13, you do
