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 Multi-
channel 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.
