NORMAL mode
Normai mode: This mode is suited for an arrangement in
which the center channel speaker is smaller than the left and
right speakers. Signals below 100 Hz which have almost no
effect on directional orientation are distributed to the left and
right channels, whereas the center channel output signals
greater than 100 Hz. As a result, the bass of the left and right
channels increases the apparent deepness of the sound.

PHANTOM mode
Phantom mode: Use this mode when center channel speaker
is not used. A directional emphasis circuit provides signal
reproduction which is electrically oriented to the center and
this provides an exciting sound field for your enjoyment.
