x CENTER SP (Center speaker size)

• LARGE

If you connect a large speaker that will

effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select

“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.

However, if the front speakers are set to

“SMALL”, you cannot set the center speaker 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

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

downmix).

• MIX (for all sources except MULTI CH 1/2)

If you did not connect a center speaker but want

to downmix the center channel audio, select

“MIX” (page 25).

This is only active when the front, surround,

and surround back speakers are set to

“LARGE” (ANALOG DOWNMIX). When all

speakers are not set to “LARGE”, the center

channel will be downmixed digitally (DIGITAL

DOWNMIX).

* When using MULTI CH 1/2 sources, the sound

of the center channel is output from the front

speakers if you select either “NO” or “MIX”.
