effectively or if you did not connect a sub woofer.
(If you select small for the front speakers the sub woofer will

small. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the sub
woofer.)

effectively.
Select small to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or
sub woofer.
If you did not connect a center speaker, deselect it. In this
case, the center channel is output from the front speakers.
SURROUND (default setting is LARGE)

effectively.
Select small to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or
sub woofer.
If you did not connect surround speakers deselect them. In
this case, the sound of the surround channels is output from
the front and center speakers.
SUB WOOFER (default setting is YES)
Leave it selected if you connected a sub woofer.
If you did not connect a sub woofer deselect it. In this case,
the bass frequencies are output from the front or surround
speakers.

deep bass sounds.
If you select PLUS the bass frequencies that would normally

sub woofer.

memo
If you have a sub woofer and like lots of bass,
it may seem logical to select LARGE for your
FRONT speakers and leave the sub woofer
selected. This may not, however, yield the best
bass results. Depending on the size and shape
of your room you may actually experience a
decrease in the amount of bass due to what is
called "low frequency cancellations." If you
have a sub woofer, listen to the bass response
with the FRONT speakers set to LARGE and
SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge
which sounds best.
The safest option in this case is to route all the
bass sounds to the sub woofer by selecting
SMALL for the FRONT speakers.
