Choose the set of speakers that you want to set

then select a speaker size.

Use

to select the size (and number) of each of the

following speakers:

• Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers

reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or if you

didn't connect a subwoofer. Select SMALL to send

the bass frequencies to the subwoofer.

• Center – Select LARGE if your center speaker

reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select

SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other

speakers or subwoofer. If you didn't connect a center

speaker, choose NO (the center channel is sent to

the front speakers).

• Surround – Select LARGE if your surround speakers

reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select

SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other

speakers or subwoofer. If you didn't connect

surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the

surround channels is sent to the front speakers or a

subwoofer).

• Surr Back – Select the number of surround back

speakers you have (one, two or none).

if your surround back speakers reproduce bass

frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass

frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If

you didn't connect surround back speakers choose

NO.

• Subwoofer – LFE signals and bass frequencies of

channels set to SMALL are output from the

subwoofer when YES is selected. Choose the PLUS

setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass

sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the

bass frequencies that would normally come out the

Note

1 If you select SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center and surround speakers can't be set to LARGE

if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

2 • If you selected 2nd Zone or Front Bi-Amp (in Surround back speaker setting on page 35) you can't adjust the surround back settings.

• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.

• If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround back terminal.

3 If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS for the subwoofer. This may not,

however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass

due low frequency cancellations. In this case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If you can't get good results, listen to the bass response

with it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you're having prob-

lems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.

4 • This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or the subwoofer, and bass sounds playing

back from those selected as SMALL. It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the LFE channel.

• If you're using a THX speaker setup, confirm that the crossover frequency is set to 80Hz.
