Tip:

When setting the speaker size in the Speaker Config sub-menu, use the guidelines given below.

Large: The complete frequency range for the channel you are setting will be output from the speaker.

Small: Frequencies of the channel you are setting lower than 80 Hz will be output from the subwoofer. If there is no subwoofer, then the output will be from the left and right front speakers. (Set all speakers for THX speaker systems to “small.”)
