speaker size.
Use
/
(cursor up/down) to select the size
(and number) of each of the following
speakers:
Front
(
F
) – 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.
1
Center
(
C
) – 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
(
S
) – 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).
Surround Back

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

Subwoofer
(
SW
) – 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).
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
Tip
If you have a subwoofer and like lots of
bass, it may seem logical to select
LARGE
for your front speakers and
PLUS
for the
subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the
best bass results. Depending on the
speaker placement of your room you may
actually experience a decrease in the
amount of bass due low frequency
cancellations. In this case, try changing
the position or direction of speakers. If you
can’t get good results, listen to the bass
response with it set to
PLUS
and
YES
or the
front speakers set to
LARGE
and
SMALL
alternatively and let your ears judge which
sounds best. If you’re having problems, the
easiest option is to route all the bass
sounds to the subwoofer by selecting
SMALL
for the front speakers.
Crossover network
Default setting:
100Hz
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
.
3
It also decides where the cutoff will
be for bass sounds in the LFE channel.
Note
1 If you select
SMALL
for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to
YES
. Also, the center, surround and
surround back 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.
2 If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.
3 For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker setting above.
