A subwoofer with sufficient low frequency playback capability
can better handle deep bass than most main and surround
speakers, and the system’s overall performance will be greatly
enhanced when “Small” is set for the main (front) and surround
speakers.
When “Front” is set to “Small”, “Subwoofer” is automatically set
to “Yes”, and when “Subwoofer” is set to “No”, “Front” is
automatically set to “Large”.
Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of the
speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for playing low
frequency (bass sound below the frequency set for the Crossover
Frequency) signals. If you do not know, try comparing the sound at
both settings (setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to
damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.

Setting the Subwoofer Mode Setup
Select the method of playback of the subwoofer for playing the low
bass signals.
LFE (Normal):
For any channel(s) that are set to “Large”, low frequencies in that
channel’s corresponding source are directed to that loudspeaker
only. The low frequencies played from the subwoofer are only the
LFE signals and the low frequencies of channels set to “Small”.
LFE+Main:
Low frequencies from speaker channels that have been set to
“Large” are reproduced from those speakers as well as from the
subwoofer(s).
The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when and “Yes” is set for
the subwoofer in the “Setting the Speaker Configuration”.
Select the “LFE+Main” mode if you want low frequency signals to
always be played from the subwoofer channel.
Select the mode achieving a voluminous bass sound when playing
music or movie sources.
Press ENTER or
