If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may
seem logical to select LARGE for your FRONT
speakers and leave the subwoofer 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 subwoofer, listen to the
bass response with the FRONT speakers set to
LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears
judge which sounds best.
If you have a subwoofer, the safest option is to route
all the bass sounds to it by selecting SMALL for the
FRONT speakers.
SURROUND (default setting is LARGE)
Select large if your speakers will reproduce bass
frequencies effectively.
Select small to send bass frequencies to the other
speakers or subwoofer.
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.
Remember, If you select small for the front
speakers, the SURROUND and SURROUND BACK
speakers can only be set to SMALL.
SURROUND BACK (default setting is LARGE X2)
NOTE: In order to use SURROUND BACK speakers
you need to hook them up through an external
amplifier (see p.20 for more on this.
Select the number of SURROUND BACK speakers
you have. You can choose one speaker, two or
none.
Select large if your speakers will reproduce bass
frequencies effectively.
Select small to send bass frequencies to the other
speakers or subwoofer.
If you did not connect surround back speakers
deselect them. In this case the boxes in the
diagram will appear empty, as shown on the left.
If the FRONT speakers or the SURROUND
speakers are set to SMALL, the SURROUND BACK
speakers will automatically be set to SMALL.
If you choose THX in step 2 then the SURROUND
BACK speakers can only be set to small (or off).
SUBWOOFER (default setting is YES)
Leave it selected if you connected a subwoofer.
If you did not connect a subwoofer deselect it. In
this case, the bass frequencies are output from the
front or surround speakers.
Choose the PLUS setting if you want stronger
reproduction of deep bass sounds.
If you select PLUS the bass frequencies that would
normally come out the front and center speakers
are all routed to the subwoofer.
If you selected SMALL for the FRONT speakers
the subwoofer will automatically be set to on (you
won’t be able to choose off or PLUS).
