Panasonic SA-XR700 Operating Guide

SPEAKERS 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 33).
Speaker size: “

LARGE ” 

Subwoofer: “

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

• Settings made through the auto speaker setup (á pages 22

and 23) are cancelled.

ADVANCED DUAL AMP (á page 37)
• 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).

BI-AMP (á page 37)
• 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 “Cancelling BI-AMP (using the triple amp

mode)” (á page 34) when you wish to use the triple amp
mode.

• You cannot use BI-AMP with analogue 6-channel connections

for DVD-Audio sources.
