with the speaker type appearing in the display.
6 Turn l AMS L until the desired item appears
in the display.
Select the item from “CNTR BALANCE,” “SURR

Note
When you set the Sub woofer to “––” in the Multi-channel

About “Large” or “Small” speaker
A “Large” speaker is a speaker that can reproduce bass
frequencies plentifully. If you select “Small” 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 “Large” (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 “Small.”
4 Turn l AMS L until desired mode appears in
the display.
5 Press l AMS L.
The output level balance setting display appears.
To set the output level balance, go to Step 4 in
“Adjusting the output level balance on the front panel
of the player” on page 22 or Step 2 in “Adjusting the
output level from the remote” on page 23.
To return to the normal display, press MENU.
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 “Large” automatically when
you set the Sub wooer 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 “FRT – Large +SW” (when you
set the speaker setting to “Small”), the bass frequencies will
come from the sub woofer.
