• Parameters
Large…… Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz.
Small…… Select this when using speakers that cannot reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz with sufficient volume. When this setting is
selected, low frequencies of below 80 Hz are assigned to the subwoofer.
None…… Select this when no speakers are installed.
Yes/No…. Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when it’s not installed.
NOTE:
Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the physical size of the speaker, but according to the bass reproduction capacity at 80 Hz. If you cannot
determine the best setting, try comparing the sound when set to “Small” and when set to “Large”, at a level that will not damage the speakers.
Caution:
In case the subwoofer is not used, be sure to set “Subwoofer = No”, or the bass sound of front channel is divided to subwoofer channel and
not reproduced in some mode.

NOTES:
— Assignment of low frequency signal range —
• The signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low frequency
signal range of channels set to “SMALL” in the setup. The low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE” are produced from those
channels.
— Subwoofer mode —
• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when “LARGE” is set for the front speakers and “YES” is set for the subwoofer in the “Speaker
Configuration” settings (see pages 17, 18).
If “SMALL” is set for the front speakers or “NO” is set for the subwoofer, the subwoofer mode setting does not affect playback of low
frequency signal range.
• When the “+MAIN” playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE” are produced simultaneously
from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room,
interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.
• When the “NORM” playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE” are only produced from those
channels. In this playback mode there tends to be little interference of the low frequency range in the room.
• Try playing the music or movie source and select the playback mode providing the stronger low frequency range sound.
