Speaker Size and Delay
The speaker size and delay menu lets you tell your receiver how many speakers you have in your system, the
relative size of the speakers, and their placement in the room. This is the most important setup procedure you will
perform. The receiver comes from the factory setup for 5 small speakers and a subwoofer. If this does not match
your speakers then audio information will be lost. For example, if you do not currently have a center channel
speaker and you do not perform this setup procedure, the center channel information will be lost. If you perform
this setup correctly, the receiver will know that you have no center channel speaker and send this information to
your front left and right speakers (along with the normal front left and right information) so no audio information is
lost.
About Speaker Size
- Speaker size literally refers to the size of your speakers. Audio material, particularly Dolby
Digital and DTS movies, often contain large amounts of bass. If this bass information is sent to small speakers
that are incapable of reproducing so much bass, then the bass information will be lost or distorted. MANY SMALL
SPEAKERS MAY BE DAMAGED BY TOO MUCH BASS. By telling your receiver the size of your speakers, it will
be able to intelligently route the bass to speakers that can reproduce it correctly. Typically, all bookshelf or satellite
speakers are considered small. Smaller floor standing speakers with single woofers 8” or less should also be
considered small. Floor standing speakers with 10” or larger woofers or multiple smaller woofers may be
considered large. These are general guidelines only - if you are unsure consult your speaker manufacturer. If you
have all small speakers we strongly recommend use of a subwoofer. If your front left and right speakers (or more)
are large then you may not require a subwoofer, but you may still get better results using a subwoofer, especially
with Dolby Digital and DTS movies.
