ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE USING THIS UNIT
SELECTING THE OUTPUT MODES
This unit provides you with the following five functions to determine the method of distributing output signals to speakers suitable for
your audio system. When speaker connections have all been completed, select the proper setting for each function to make the
best use of your speaker system. (See “ADJUSTMENTS IN THE ‘SET MENU’ MODE” on page 42.)
1. CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER) 2. REAR (REAR SPEAKERS)
3. MAIN (MAIN SPEAKERS)
4. BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)
5. M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)
DESCRIPTION OF EACH FUNCTION
CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL/NONE
Preset position: LARGE
LARGE: Select this position when your center speaker is
approximately the same size as the main speakers.
SMALL:
Select this position when you use a center speaker
that is smaller than the main speakers.
In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on the
center channel are output from the main speakers (or
the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SMALL
position is selected for “MAIN” and the SW position is
selected for “BASS”).
NONE:
Select this position when you do not have a center
speaker (four speaker system). The center channel
sound will be output from the left and right main
speakers.
REAR (REAR SPEAKERS)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL
Preset position: LARGE
LARGE: Select this position if your rear speakers have high
ability for bass reproduction, or if a subwoofer is
connected in parallel to the rear speaker.
In this position, full-range signals are output from the
rear speakers.
SMALL:
Select this position if your rear speakers do not have
high ability for bass reproduction.
In this position, low bass signals (below 90 Hz) on
the rear channels are output from the SUBWOOFER
OUTPUT terminal (or the main speakers if the MAIN
position is selected for “BASS”).
MAIN (MAIN SPEAKERS)
Choices: LARGE/SMALL
Preset position: LARGE
LARGE: Select this position if your main speakers have high
ability for bass reproduction.
In this position, full-range signals present on the
main channels are output from the main speakers.
SMALL:
Select this position if your main speakers do not
have 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) on
the main channels are output from the
SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal if the SW or BOTH
position is selected for “BASS”.
BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)
Choices: SW/MAIN/BOTH
Preset position: SW
MAIN:
Select this position if your system does not include a
subwoofer.
In this position, full-range signals present on the
main channels, signals from the LFE channel and
other low bass signals that are 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 on the LFE channel and
other low bass signals that are distributed from other
channels are output from the SUBWOOFER
OUTPUT terminal.
When the LARGE position is selected for “MAIN”, in
the SW position, no signal is distributed from the
main channels to the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT
terminal; however, in the BOTH position, low bass
signals from the main channels are output to both
the main speakers and the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT
terminal.
M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)
Choices: NRML (NORMAL)/–10 dB
Preset position: NRML (NORMAL)
NRML (NORMAL):
Normally select this position.
–10 dB:
Select this position if the sound output from the main
speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with
the sound output from the center and rear speakers.
In this position, the sound output from the main
speakers is attenuated.
Note
The settings of “CNTR”, “REAR”, “MAIN” and “BASS” have no
effect on the signals input to the EXTERNAL DECODER
INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.
