•NO
If you did not connect a center speaker, select
“NO”. The sound of the center channel will be
output from the front speakers (DIGITAL
DOWNMIX).
•MIX
If you did not connect a center speaker but
want to downmix the center channel audio,
select “MIX”.
This setting only available when the front
speakers are set to “LARGE” (ANALOG
DOWNMIX). In other cases, the center
channel will be downmixed digitally
(DIGITAL DOWNMIX).
Note
When using MULTI CH IN sources, the sound of the
center channel is output from the front speakers if you
select either “NO” or “MIX”.
x XXXXX (Surround speakers size)
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select
“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
However, if the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, you cannot set the surround
speakers to “LARGE”.
•SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
surround channel bass frequencies from the
sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
•NO
If you did not connect surround speakers,
select “NO”.
x / XXXXXX
(Surround back speaker selection)
• DUAL
If you connect two surround back speakers,
select “DUAL”. The sound will be output to a
maximum of 7.1 channels.
• SINGLE
If you connect only one surround back
speaker, select “SINGLE”. The sound will be
output to a maximum of 6.1 channels.
•NO
If you did not connect surround back
speakers, select “NO”.
Note
When the surround speakers size parameter is set to
“NO”, the surround back speakers selection parameter
is also automatically set to “NO”.
Tip
The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each
speaker determine whether the internal sound
processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of
directionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible.
Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can
set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bass
frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if
you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have
bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to
“SMALL”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set
all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass,
you can use the BASS parameter in the EQUALIZER
menu to boost the bass levels. To adjust the equalizer,
see page 39.
