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.”

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 21 or

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 woofer 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.
