The Surround Setup menu

5 Choose the set of speakers that you want to set

then select a speaker size.

Use / (cursor left/right) to select the size (and

number) of each of the following speakers:

• FRONT – Select LARGE if your front speakers

reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or if you

didn’t connect a subwoofer. Select SMALL to send

the bass frequencies to the subwoofer.

• CENTER – Select LARGE if your center speaker

reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select

SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other

speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect a center

speaker, choose NO (the center channel is sent to

the front speakers).

• SURROUND – Select LARGE if your surround

speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively.

Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other

speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect

surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the

surround channels is sent to the front speakers or a

subwoofer).

• SURR BACK – Select the number of surround back

speakers you have (one, two or none). Select LARGE

if your surround back speakers reproduce bass

frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass

frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If

you didn’t connect surround back speakers choose

NO.

• SUBWOOFER – LFE signals and bass frequencies of

channels set to SMALL are output from the

subwoofer when YES is selected (see notes below).

Choose the PLUS setting if you want the subwoofer to

output bass sound continuously or you want deeper

bass (the bass frequencies that would normally come

out the front and center speakers are also routed to

the subwoofer). If you did not connect a subwoofer

choose NO (the bass frequencies are output from

other speakers).

Note

• If you selected Manual THX (in step 2) you can only

adjust the surround back settings.

• If you selected Front Bi-Amp (in step 3) you can’t

adjust the surround back settings.

• If you select SMALL for the front speakers the

subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also,

the center and surround speakers can’t be set to

LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this

case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround

back speakers will automatically be set to NO.

• If you select one surround back speaker only, make

sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround

back terminal.

7 Choose a crossover frequency.

This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds

playing back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or

the subwoofer, and bass sounds playing back from those

selected as SMALL. It also decides where the cutoff will

be for bass sounds in the LFE channel.

Use / (cursor left/right) to select the crossover

frequency:

• 50Hz – Sends bass frequencies below 50 Hz to the
