SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
Every surround-sound system requires “bass-management” to direct low-frequency content from any
or all channels to the speakers best able to reproduce it. For this function to operate correctly, it is
important that you correctly identify your speakers’ capabilities. We use the terms “Small” and “Large”
(and “O”), but note that physical size may be irrelevant.
A “Small” speaker is any model, regardless of physical size, that lacks signicant deep-bass response,
that is, below about 80 Hz.
A “Large” speaker is any full-range model, that is, one with deep-bass response
An “O” speaker is one that is not present in your system. For example, you might not have any
surround-back speakers installed; in that case, you would set the “Back” setup item to “O”.
Depending on the relationship between speakers, the possible selections for each speaker are as
follows:
Front L/R Center Surround L/R Back Subwoofer 1/2

The Speaker Conguration is “global”; that is, it remains in force with all inputs and in all listening
modes. However, speaker settings are part of the T 175’s Preset system. Consequently, multiple speaker
settings can be stored for easy recall as dierent types of recordings or listening modes require.
Speaker Conguration can be managed and adjusted by pressing a combination of [ ] and then [ ]
keys. Set “Front”, “Center”, and “Surround” to “Large,” “Small” or “O” as your subsystem’s speakers require.
The “Back” speakers can either be one or two speakers. Set “Back” to either 1 or 2 speakers as per
availability. Set “Subwoofer” to “On” or “O,” selecting “On” only if you have a subwoofer connected to
the T 175’s SUBW1 or SUBW2 output jack.
