surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select SMALL to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
center channel bass frequencies from the front
speakers (if set to LARGE) or sub woofer.
NO (for all sources except MULTI CH 1/2)
If you did not connect a center speaker, select
NO. The sound of the center channel will be
output from the front speakers (digital

to downmix the center channel audio, select

of the center channel is output from the front
speakers if you select either NO or MIX.
