The size and number of loudspeakers are defined on this page of the OSD.

–A ‘LARGE’ speaker is one that is capable of handling a full range signal (i.e. 20Hz–20kHz).

–A ‘SMALL’ speaker is one that is not capable of reproducing a deep bass signal (i.e. below 100Hz), for example a satellite speaker.

–‘ON’ is used when a speaker is present and active and receives the intended audio information.

–‘OFF’ is used when a speaker is absent or inactive. Audio signals intended for speakers set to OFF are redirected to the main speakers.

Recommended speaker settings for different systems

To configure a ‘Sub/Sat’ system (i.e. a set of small speakers with a subwoofer), your speaker settings should be ‘SMALL’ for all speakers, with Subwoofer turned ‘ON’.

Some small but high performance speakers are capable of handling a signal below 100Hz: in this instance, set them to ‘LARGE’ (despite their small physical size). If in doubt, please check the specifications in your speaker’s handbook or ask your dealer.

If you don’t have a centre speaker, set CENTER to ‘OFF’. This directs the centre speaker information to the front left and right speakers, ensuring that dialogue is clearly reproduced.

The SUBWOOFER STEREO setting is only relevant for music reproduction and does not affect sound reproduction for movies. If you have small speakers on the front, set SUBWOOFER STEREO to ‘ON’ to give the extra bass reinforcement required for music. If your front speakers are large, or of high quality and performance, you may find music is reproduced more accurately with the Subwoofer turned ‘OFF’.
