If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your FRONT speakers and leave the subwoofer selected. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the size and shape of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due to what is called "low frequency cancella- tions." If you have a subwoofer, listen to the bass response with the FRONT speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best.

The safest option in this case is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the FRONT speakers.

Select YES if you connected a subwoofer.

If you did not connect a subwoofer select 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.

SURROUND BACK (default setting is LARGE X2)

NOTE: In order to use SURROUND BACK speakers you need to hook them up through an external amplifier (see p. 19 & 21) for more on this.

Select the number and size of SURROUND BACK speakers you have. You can choose one speaker, two or none.

If the FRONT speakers or the SURROUND speakers are set to SMALL, the SURROUND BACK speakers will automatically be set to SMALL.

Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequen- cies effectively.

Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer.

If you did not connect surround back speakers select NO.
