ARC Ref3 Bal-SE button..what for?


I was wondering what the BAL/SE button on the ARC Ref is for? I have my cdp connected to the balanced inputs but when I push the BAL/SE button on the Ref 3, I still hear music. Can someone please explain what this button is supposed to do?

Mitch - after looking at your system - I'm afraid my photo's would be quite boring in comparison!! :)
From the LS26 owners maual:

"BAL/SE: Select as appropriate for each input. For source components having balanced (XLR) connections to the LS26, select BAL. For single-ended (RCA) sources, select SE. Once selected for an input source, the setting is memorized."
