Speaker setting

•Default setting: FL-CS-SS(If a subwoofer is detected when you turn the receiver on, the default is FS-CS-SS.)

You must let the receiver know how many speakers you have, and how big they are. The size you choose (large or small) determines how much bass is sent from the receiver to the speakers.

In the display, F, C, and S refer to front, center, and surround speakers respectively. Speaker size is denoted as L for large speakers, S for small speakers, and (asterisk) if no speaker is connected.

•If the cone size (diameter) of the speaker is larger than 5 inches, set the speaker size to L.

•If you’re not using a subwoofer, we recom- mend setting the front speakers to L.

•Cycle through the available choices

using or and choose a configuration that matches your speaker setup.
