SPEAKER SETTING
The information below shows you how to select the correct settings for the type and number of speakers you
connected. Most importantly, you need to decide how to route the sound for all the speakers you connected. To
do this select the size of the front, center, surround and surround back speakers (if you hooked them up). It is
important to make these settings as accurately as possible or, in some cases, you may not get the full
soundtrack from a disc.
Use the information below to complete the steps that follow and set up the receiver to match the speakers you
have hooked up.
If starting fresh, complete steps 1-2 in page 39.
FRONT (default setting is SMALL)
Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the subwoofer. Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass
frequencies effectively or if you did not connect a subwoofer. (If you select SMALL for the front speakers the
subwoofer will automatically be switched YES. Also, the center and surround speakers cannot be set to
LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.)
CENTER (default setting is SMALL)
• Select LARGE if your speaker will reproduce bass frequencies effectively.
• Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer.
• If you did not connect a center speaker, choose NO. In this case, the center channel is output from the
front speakers.
SURROUND (default setting is SMALL)
• 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 choose NO. In this case, the sound of the surround channels is
output from the front and center speakers.
• If the front speakers are set to SMALL, the surround speakers will automatically be set to SMALL.
SURROUND BACK (default setting is SMALL X2)
If you chose SECOND ZONE or FRONT BI-AMP in SURRBACK SYSTEM on page 37, or if you chose
NO for SURROUND SPEAKERS, you won’t be able to choose this setting.
• Select the number of surround back speakers you have. You can choose one speaker, two, or none.
• If you select one speaker, make sure to hook it up to the left surround back terminal.
• 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 choose NO.
• If the front speakers or the surround speakers are set to SMALL, the surround back speakers will automati-
cally be set to SMALL.
• If you choose THX in step 2 then the surround back speakers can only be set to SMALL (X1 or X2), or NO.
SUBWOOFER (default setting is YES)
• Leave it selected if you connected a subwoofer.
• If you selected SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be set to on (you won’t be
able to choose NO or PLUS).
• If you did not connect a subwoofer choose NO. 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.
