Panasonic SA-XR700 Operating Guide

SREAKERS B
• Playback is in 2-channel stereo when you select “SPEAKERS B” only.
• When only “SPEAKERS B” is selected and the input source is

surround, “

2CH MIX” appears on the display.

• Selected speakers output sounds assigned to front 2 channels

when you make DVD ANALOG 6CH connections.

• If you select “SPEAKERS B” only, the following are set automatically irrespective of

settings selected in “Setting speakers and their sizes” (á page 35).
Speaker size: “

LARGE ” 

Subwoofer: “

NO ” (Bass is output from the front speakers.)

• Settings made through the auto speaker setup (á pages 24

and 25) are canceled.

MULTI ROOM
• When you press [SPEAKERS A] or [SPEAKERS B],

consolidated 2-channel stereo sound is output from front and
surround speakers (in the original room).
MULTI ROOM is canceled when you press [SPEAKERS A] or [SPEAKERS B].

• BI-AMP or ADVANCED DUAL AMP turns off when you

perform MULTI ROOM playback.

• “

SPEAKERS ARE OFF ” is displayed when you press and hold [SPEAKERS

B] for 2 seconds without selecting “SPEAKERS A” and “SPEAKERS B”.

ADVANCED DUAL AMP (á page 39)
• The unit takes advantage of unused amps, and runs one speaker with 2

amps when this function is on. ADVANCED DUAL AMP offers you
sounds that are clearer and higher in audio quality than those available
in normal playback. In 2-channel stereo playback, 3 speaker amps drive
front speakers. The operation is called the triple amp mode.

2-channel stereo playback: Front, surround and surround back
speaker amps are used for driving front speakers (triple amp mode).
5.1-channel playback: Front and surround back speaker amps
are used for driving front speakers (dual amp mode).

• When surround speakers are connected wirelessly (á page 21), the

unit uses the wireless system amp for 5.1-channel playback. Under
the condition, front speakers are driven in the triple amp mode.

BI-AMP (á page 39)
• The unit takes advantage of the front speaker and the surround

speaker amps, and drives the speakers’ high-frequency and low-
frequency ranges separately when this function is on.

• ADVANCED DUAL AMP is available with BI-AMP. When combined, the

two functions enhance clarity and audio quality of stereo sounds.

• When you make bi-wire setting (á page 20), both BI-AMP and

ADVANCED DUAL AMP take effect as long as overlap is possible. In
such case, ADVANCED DUAL AMP activates in the dual amp mode.
Select “

OFF ” in “Canceling BI-AMP (using the triple amp mode)”

(á page 36) when you wish to use the triple amp mode.

• You cannot use BI-AMP with analog 6-channel connections for

DVD-Audio sources.
