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

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.

4-speaker system with front and rear speak-
ers, or a 6-speaker system with front and
rear speakers and subwoofers.
