Operation modes
This unit features two operation modes: the 3-
way network mode (NW) and the standard
mode (STD). You can switch between modes
as desired. Initially, the DSP setting is set to
the standard mode (STD). (Refer to
Switching
the DSP setting mode
on page 7.)
!
The 3-way network mode (NW) lets you cre-
ate a 3-way multi-amp, multi-speaker sys-
tem with separate speakers for
reproduction of high, middle and low fre-
quencies (bands), each driven by a dedi-
cated power amp. The 3-way network mode
provides network and time alignment func-
tions, two functions essential for a multi-
amp, multi-speaker system, to enable pre-
cise control over settings for each fre-
quency range.
!
The standard mode (STD) lets you create a
4-speaker system with front and rear speak-
ers, or a 6-speaker system with front and
rear speakers and subwoofers.
