This is “pure” stereo, using the front left and front right speakers only, with no surround channels and no center channel. When used with Dolby Digital or DTS source material, the STEREO button engages a “downmix” feature which combines all of the available channels and sends them to the front speakers only.
SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR RSP-966 Things become a little more complex in systems with a subwoofer. For example, the system will generally not redirect bass information away from a LARGE speaker to the subwoofer. Thus, the decision you often need to make when faced with a choice of LARGE or SMALL is whether you want the particular speaker to play the deep bass or whether you would prefer that the deep bass be sent to the subwoofer.
