Set Stereo Operation -
Most users wll prefer the factory setting - NORMAL. In this mode, the settings you will
enter in the following speaker setup apply to the STEREO surround mode as well as all the other modes. Users
with large front speakers may wish to use them with a subwoofer for movies to keep the extreme bass contained
in some movies out of their front speakers. However, they may wish to use their front speakers as full range
speakers when listening to stereo music material. If this is your case then set STEREO OPERATION to LARGE.
We do not recommend using the LARGE setting if you use small, satellite or bookshelf speakers as the bass
information even in stereo music may damage the speakers at high volume levels. Some users may prefer the
sound of their source’s (or separate) digital to analog converter over the converter contained in the A/V System
Controller but still wish to use the A/V System Controller’s converter for Dolby Digital and DTS material. If this is
your case then set STEREO OPERATION to DIRECT. Make sure you have made both analog and digital
connections from your source. In this mode when you choose STEREO your A/V System Controller will ignore the
digital inputs. Note that direct mode also bypasses bass management so that you get the purest possible sound
from your outboard equipment. This means that, like LARGE mode, you should not use DIRECT mode with small,
satellite or bookshelf speakers.
