Multi-channel Source Playback
Access to a 5.1 channel source connected to the Multi-channel Inputs is
accomplished by using the 6 Channel Direct mode. Examples of a 5.1 chan-
nel source would be a DVD-A (DVD-Audio) or SACD (Super Audio CD)
multi-channel disc and compatible player.
Analog Bass Management
The P-2000 provides the option of Analog Bass Management when 6 Channel
Direct is selected. This function, which only applies to the source connected
to the Multi-channel input, is controlled via a small toggle switch on the rear
panel of the P-2000 (see item 18 on page 9).
When the switch is in the Up position, the Analog Bass Management function
is On, and the unit will provide an 80Hz crossover for the Left, Center, Right,
Left Surround and Right Surround loudspeakers. Bass below 80Hz from
these channels is always sent on to the subwoofer (.1) channel no matter
how the rear panel switch is set.
If the switch is set in the Down position, no crossover ltering of the satel-
lite speakers occurs, providing the full bandwidth signal, including all bass
information, to every channel. However, all information below 80Hz is still
summed and sent to the subwoofer output.
Note:
Since in the Off position bass information is not removed from
the satellite speakers, it is recommended that, unless you are abso-
lutely sure your loudspeakers can handle the low frequency informa-
tion, or that this function is supplied within your 5.1 channel source,
you leave this switch in the Up/On position.
Once you have connected a component to the Multi-channel inputs and set
the Analog Bass Management, you should never have to change it, unless you
get different speakers or a player that includes its own bass management.
To enter 6 Channel Direct mode:
1.
Press the 6 CH button on the remote control.
The P-2000 is set to Bypass mode, circumventing any internal

2.
Press the 6 CH button again to turn off 6 Channel Direct
mode, or use the Source selection buttons on the remote or

ously chosen source and settings.
